About Us

Peninsula Adventure Sports Association or “PASA” is a not-for-profit corporation that supports outdoor sport on “the Bruce.” What exactly does that mean?

PASA does two things very well:

1) It raises funds through events such as the Bruce Peninsula Multisport Race (August 12, 2023) and the Tobermory Trail Race Weekend (Sept 16-17, 2023) and earmarks them to sport groups, events or infrastructure that promotes the Bruce Peninsula.

2) Its members advise on and advocate for outdoor sport initiatives set out by government and non-governmental organizations and act as ambassadors for outdoor sport on issues ranging from town planning to provincial highways.

We feel that good health begins with keeping active. We also believe there is nothing more motivating to keep fit than an upcoming event or activity that can simultaneously invigorate the participant with fresh air and present them with a tangible challenge. We also feel that hosting events or outdoor activities are the perfect way to channel our efforts seeing not only as they promote a healthy lifestyle, but when done responsibly also create civic pride and engage many stakeholders in the community to do the same. Keeping this in mind, PASA’s official vision and values are as follows:

AIM:
To support sport events and sport infrastructure, and generally promote all aspects of outdoor sport.

OBJECTIVES:
1. to develop recreational outdoor sport in the Bruce Peninsula,
2. to support the development of competitive outdoor sport, and to shine a spotlight on athletes by supporting competitive events, and
3. to provide for the development of skills and knowledge related to outdoor sport

We acknowledge that our events take place on the traditional land of the people of the Saugeen Ojibway Territory, and we’d like to thank them for their partnership with us, and thank them for sharing the land with ourselves & our participants. We also would like to specifically thank the Chippewas of Nawash unceded First Nation and the Saugeen First Nation for their great stewardship of this natural wonderland: we greatly respect you and your connection to nature.

The Chippewas of Nawash unceded First Nation has been the “Host First Nation” of the Multisport Race since 2016.
