It's the Real Deal

Petro-Canada believes that education builds strong individuals and prepares them for the world. By contributing to projects that encourage friendship and fair-play early on in life, we play a part in building the foundation for healthy adults and citizens in the future.

In partnership with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, we sponsor "It's the Real Deal" — the Paralympic Schools Program designed to help young students learn more about people with disabilities, the Paralympic Games and Paralympic sports.
The program emphasizes the significance of inclusion and equality within our communities. It's real and it's authentic — It's the Real Deal.

The Petro-Canada Paralympic Schools Program — It's the Real Deal:

• Speaks to young people, ages 9 to 13, and offers fun online multi-media lessons and activities, as well as prizes and giveaways.
• Educates both able and disabled students about equality and inclusiveness.
• Sensitizes students to the human potential that resides in all of us — a message that we all have disabilities to recognize and overcome.
• Helps youth adjust to the challenges of the real world where life is not always about success, but more often about resilience, responding to setbacks and obstacles, and having the persistence to overcome the fear of failure.
• Offers lesson plans to teachers covering the five core curriculum subjects: language arts, physical education, visual arts, mathematics and history.
