I hope you saw last night's opening ceremony. Chantal Petitclerc, the most decorated athlete in Canadian history, and one of the world's most successful Paralympians, lit the cauldron to the roar from the athletes assembled in the infield.

Antigonish's Chelsey Gotell, a three-time Paralympic swimmer and multiple world-record holder helped carry in the Paralympic flag.
What better activity this rainy weekend than to watch the coverage on CBC?
- Saturday, Aug. 8 at 5 p.m. AST and 9 p.m.
- Sunday, Aug. 9 at 6 p.m.
The full schedule through next Saturday includes tons of opportunities to root for our athletes.
Be sure to watch Josh Cassidy, marathon world record holder. His CBC profile says he is confined to a wheelchair. Does 42.2 kilometers in 1 hour, 18 minutes and 25 seconds sound confined?
Watching the ParaPanAm games is an Inspiration and an education.
