Administrative history
Champions for Change is a documentary series about Canadian Paralympians by Elitha Peterson Productions that aired on Sportsnet in 2005. Champions for Change aired in three half-hour segments titled Sports First, Let the Games Begin, and The Value of Gold. It focuses on three Canadian Paralympians, Chantal Benoit, Jeff Adams, Chantal Petitclerc, and the Paralympic Movement's history and issues in Canada.
Elitha Peterson Productions and Executive Producer Sylvia Sweeney produced Champions for Change in 2005. Elitha Peterson Productions Inc. partnered with Dan Ierullo, a Canadian distributor and producer and former owner of Records on Wheels, for this project. Sylvia Sweeney herself is a Canadian Olympian (1976 and 1984). She was inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in 1984 and was the Most Valuable Player in the World Championships of Basketball in 1979. In addition, she has produced many award-winning documentaries, including the 1992 documentary titled In the Key of Oscar. Sweeney named Elitha Peterson Productions after her mother, Daisy Elitha Peterson Sweeney, a renowned musician and piano professor and sister to famous jazz musician and composer Oscar Peterson.
