The Canadian Paralympic Committee in partnership with BBDO Toronto just launched its first-ever advertising campaign promoting the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. Elevating the training and preparation rituals of Paralympic athletes Ray Grassi (Sledge Hockey) and Stephanie Dixon (Swimming), the ads bring to life the perseverance, passion, skill, determination and successes each athlete experiences as they prepare to compete in their sport.
Two television ads “Swimming” and “Sledge Hockey” and a number of print executions are running on CTV, TSN in English and French and in the Globe and Mail with donated media space leading up to the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games. BBDO Toronto also donated the time spent to create and execute the campaign.
The Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games take place from March 12th – 21st, 2010. 55 Canadian Paralympic athletes will compete in Para-Alpine skiing, Para-Nordic skiing (cross-country skiing and biathlon), sledge hockey, and wheelchair curling.
