Each year CHCP holds an annual event called a day at the beach, it is held at Grand Beach usually the second or third week of July. The purpose of the days events are to provide a day of recreation and learning for everyone involved. CHCP is committed to be a leader in recreational opportunities and products in the province.

This year our annual Day at the Beach has taken place on July 17th!

Each year CHCP brings in equipment that addresses the recreational needs of people with many physical challenges. This day was originally the dream of former executive director of Manitoba Wheelchair Sports Association(MWSA) Doug Grant and CHCP's Jake Smellie.

The day was originated to provide a recreational experience for new and old members of MWSA as well as Canadian Paraplegic Association(CPA), to exchange experiences of each and learn from others challenges. The day has now evolved to a much bigger event with groups such as Cerebral Palsy Association, Health Science Center (Rehab), Tache Center, and The Society For Manitobans with Disabilities are now attending.

This day of information sharing and networking has proven to be valuable experience for therapists, recreational directors, and funding agents. Each year an award is given to a participant showing determination and persistence in the days events , this award is given in Memory of the Late Doug Grant and is called the Doug Grant Memorial Award.
