Geography of Paralympic Success

We're beginning a large project on the geography of Paralympic athletes. The map below was created by project lead Gillian Ramsay to show the hometowns of all members of the Canadian Paralympic team in Paris this summer, and the relationships between athletes' birthplaces and other geographic indicators (e.g., total population, recreational facilities) that might relate to their athletic development.
