A New Paralympic Show On The Air
Toronto, ON, November 22, 2002 - As an official media
sponsor, VoicePrint is beginning its 2004 Paralympic coverage! The 12th
Summer Paralympic Games are less than two years away but Canadian Paralympic
athletes will be receiving the national coverage they deserve. The series
premier will feature a recap of the 2000 summer sporting events and an
interview with Jeff Adams. While in studio, Jeff discussed his CN Tower
climb, his past Paralympic experiences and much more. Tune in to VoicePrint
this Saturday at 1 pm ET and/or Sunday at 7 am ET
“Starting this year our mission is to not only focus on the games
themselves,” says VoicePrint Manager Arlene Patterson, “but
also the ‘Paralympic Movement, because athlete accomplishment in
life and in sport make an important social statement about achievements
of persons with disabilities.” The series, available on television
to more than 7.4 million Canadian homes via cable, Star Choice, Express
Vu, Look TV, Skycable and on the Internet at www.voiceprint.ca,
will highlight the excellence of Canada’s elite athletes.
“Our athletes are outstanding Canadian ambassadors,” says
Patrick Jarvis, Canadian Paralympic Committee president, “they represent
our country with dignity, competitive grace and quiet confidence. “We
are excited to listen to the type of coverage VoicePrint is known for,”
Jarvis says.
