Cameron Gelowitz
Biography:
Cameron Gelowitz dipped his foot into any sport possible while growing up, trying everything from soccer to diving.
Born in Kamloops, B.C., Gelowitz grew up in Ottawa until the age of 12, when the family decided to relocate back to the West Coast.
Once back in Kamloops, Gelowitz picked up basketball and played into his high school years at Sa-Hali Secondary School.
Gelowitz’s basketball aspirations took a turn in May 2020. He was doing back flips on a trampoline when he suffered an L2 spinal cord injury.
Following a stint at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver, Gelowitz returned home to Kamloops, where he was introduced to wheelchair basketball coach Dan Coombs.
Gelowitz was introduced to sledge hockey but felt more comfortable in the wheelchair basketball community.
Off the court, Gelowitz, who spends his summers working at the Rick Hansen Foundation, is working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Sport Management at Comosun College in Victoria, B.C.
