Paralympic curler Ideson says club accessibility in Canada lacking
6 minute read Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022Entering a curling club isn't something Mark Ideson takes for granted.
The three-time Paralympian in wheelchair curling says a single stair poses a formidable hurdle to pursue his sport.
"That one stair might as well be Mount Everest because you can't get up that stair independently," Ideson told The Canadian Press.
Ideson skipped Canada to back-to-back bronze medals in the 2018 and 2022 Paralympic Games.
