Recognition 🎖️ Terrie Moore, Chris Hogg, Hilary Beeton, Sandra Titulaer and Raul Reina are the recipients of the 2024 IPC Classification Recognition Awards for their significant contribution to classification within the Paralympic Movement “It is important that all of us involved in #ParaSport take a moment to acknowledge the importance of their work and invest further efforts to raise the profile of classification personnel within the Movement. Without these incredible individuals, the Movement would not be what it is today,” Tea Cisic, IPC Director of Classification, said. The Awards celebrate those involved in various classification roles who have offered their dedicated service to the Movement over decades. #Paralympics Read more about this year's recipients here: https://lnkd.in/das7ZrVU

It was wonderful to have our Board head up Cairns, one of our Co-Host Cities, last week to engage with the community and learn more about the region.   Board members spent time with young athletes at Barlow Park, which will undergo a $91 million upgrade, making it a spectacular venue for the community to enjoy well in advance of the Games coming to town. They also explored Skyrail Rainforest Cableway that runs above the Barron Gorge National Park in the Wet Tropics of Queensland's World Heritage Area, learning about the world's oldest tropical rainforest from a Ranger.   We’re looking forward to working closely with the Cairns community as we prepare for our Games, making it a vibrant celebration of the spirit and talent in this region.
