Welcome
The Manitoba Blind Sports Association has been the recognized not-for-profit provincial sport organization for blind and visually impaired Manitobans since 1976. Our mission is to encourage participation in sport at all levels of skill and ability by providing athletic and recreational programs to support the physical, mental, social and emotional well-being of Manitobans who are blind or vision impaired. We currently support athletes in Manitoba participating in both Summer and Winter sports.
We welcome new athletes of all abilities and skill levels, as well as volunteers to support our athletes and organization. Contact MBSA at 204-925-5694 or e-mail blindsport@ shawbiz.ca to learn more about our organization.

“When I lost my sight, it became an awakening for me.” — says Kanya.
Kanya, from Winnipeg, began losing her vision at age 23 and became fully blind a few years later. During that time, she discovered the power of sport to rebuild confidence, strength, and independence.
Kanya previously served as the President of the Manitoba Blind Sports Association, She also participates in Jiu-Jitsu (Martial Arts), helping create opportunities for people with vision loss to participate in sports, stay active, and build community.
