Travel
More and more Canadians with physical disabilities including spinal cord injury (SCI) travel regularly for pleasure and for work. Barriers to travel are declining as awareness about the importance of accessibility increases among governments, businesses and individuals around the world. Research, planning and organization are a must—but people with SCI who’ve become seasoned travelers say it’s made a huge difference to their quality of life. Plan with confidence!
9 Days, 9 States and a Slide Board
It all started over a year ago with my nephew and his fiancée announcing their engagement and upcoming summer wedding in Myrtle Beach. It turned out I had two nephews and a niece that all got married within 9 weeks of each other. My wife, Bonnie and I planned to attend but I got thinking; August, beach, hot sun, sand. Not so easy for a quad who can’t handle too much sun.

Adventure In The Adirondacks
This summer my fiancée and I decided to take a relaxing vacation in Gananoque and the Lake Champlain area. Gananoque is about three hour drive east of Toronto off the 401. It is a picturesque little town on the St. Lawrence River. The town has a population of about 5,500 and has many beautiful old Victorian homes.
