UVic strives to provide an inspiring and inclusive environment that encourages excellence in all areas of human potential. Imagine the future achievements that UVic's new Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities may inspire.
The momentum is building; the vision is becoming a reality.
While a large proportion of the funds required to build the new centre have already been identified, it is only with the help of the community that the full potential of this facility will be realized.
UVic has a proud history of creating champions and is a leader in supporting diversity. To build on this legacy, UVic needs to continually recruit, inspire and develop the heroes of tomorrow. In today's rapidly changing and competitive world, this requires world-class facilities.
We invite you to partner with us in building this landmark that will reflect UVic's commitment to healthy lifestyles, athletic excellence and social inclusion.
We're pleased to see UVic's commitment to empowering community members to lead healthier, more active lives. Nothing compares to a daily dose of athletic-induced endorphins to inspire individuals to achieve their potential.

CanAssist is a wonderful example of UVic's commitment to community engagement and to the social inclusion of people of all abilities. The fact that CanAssist will be housed in the new CARSA building further demonstrates UVic's leadership in this area.
Access to top notch sports and fitness facilities at UVic will help thousands of students gain confidence and skills that will benefit them long after they graduate.

Everyone, including people living with disabilities, will benefit from this exciting new facility at UVic. Although their goals may vary, their achievement requires the same courage, focus and determination. CARSA will inspire everyone to work to their full potential.
True excellence is performing to the best of one's ability. CARSA will provide the opportunity for everyone to experience the joy of physical activity and to be inspired to achieve their best.
I benefited directly from years of practicing in UVic's historic McKinnon Gym. I hope that the champions of tomorrow will benefit in similar fashion from this new athletic complex.
