CCPSA Hall of Fame

BC3 Pairs

For decades, three athletes from British Columbia transformed boccia in Canada – Alison Kabush, Monica Martino and Paul Gauthier.

From the mid 1990’s to the early 2010’s, they spent thousands of hours together on the boccia courts of Vancouver, New Westminster and Surrey, building their shared love of competition and honing their skills. The depth of their Pairs results was so great that what was often lost in their consistency and longevity was their beautifully executed shots, time and time again.  Their achievements include:

  • Gold at World Championships in New York, 1998
  • Bronze at Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia, 2000
  • Gold at World Masters Games in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, 2004
  • Bronze at Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, 2004
  • Gold at America’s Cup in Mar del Plata, Argentina, 2005
  • Gold at Americas’ Cup in Montreal, 2009

The Canadian boccia community celebrates the induction into the CCPSA Hall of Fame of a true dynasty, the BC3 Paris of – Alison Kabush, Monica Martino and Paul Gauthier.
