Lisa DeJong and Alex Massie brought home silver medals in snowboard to cap off a six-podium performance by Canada at the inaugural World Para Snow Sports Championships on Friday.

Sandrine Hamel and Tyler Turner each added a bronze in banked slalom snowboard, while Para alpine skiers Katie Combaluzier and Mollie Jepsen racked up two more bronze medals in their downhill races.

Hamel, 24 of St-Sauveur, Que., a two-time medallist at the season opening World Cup in November, won her third-place match over Katlyn Maddry of the U.S. for the bronze.
