Youth in Thompson have been making use of the Jumpstart Inclusive Multi Sport Court, which had its official grand opening yesterday.

The space was designed for organized sport and casual play that accommodates physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities partnered with local dealers Michael Howell and Robert Williams and the City of Thompson to develop the structure.

Inclusive play manager Lindsay Joseph says the court is the third of its kind Jumpstart has built in Canada, with a fourth to be built in Brandon later this year.

All Jumpstart courts include high contrast colours to support visual impairment, shaded accessible bleachers and double wide benches, and wheelchair accessible seating.
