A lifelong advocate for people with disabilities, Monique Lefebvre launched Défi sportif AlterGo in 1984. For a week each year, Montréal welcomes thousands of athletes with disabilities to this international competition featuring dozens of sports disciplines. The event has become a proving ground for future Paralympians, and also shines a light on issues of inclusion and accessibility in the wider community.
