A very unexpected visit to Ontario at least gave way for a quick visit with these amazing and talented humans at TPASC and Variety Village. Thanks for all you do in disability play, physical activity, and sport. 😍❤️

We had a great time at the Emera Oval this morning supporting staff to coach sledge skills. Chilly day but beautiful sunshine! The Emera Oval has lots of free adapted equipment to borrow, including sledge but also snowsleds and hippocampes for scooting around the Halifax Commons! Check them out! ❤️🤗

Once again HRM abandons pedestrians to their own devices. My already bad back is unhappy after the trudge through our “sidewalks.”

And a deeply sincere & hearty “fuck you,” as always, to Irving on Q-pool: Not only do they never clear the sidewalk, they always block it with their plough. #halisky

To feel the wind on your face as you skate quickly around the rink is an experience all kids should have. A new 11-year-old skated with us today at #LearntoSledge. They said it was "the best ever". With a push handle, we kept skating faster & faster together with joyful laughter. My heart is full! ❤️

It seems there are things in process that BikeHfx has begged for for years & has been told weren’t possible.
1. Crosswalk on Springvale at the COLT crossing.
2. Spray paint on the CN bridge sidewalk at the 102/Bayers Rd.

What else is possible that we’ve been denied??

reminder that Halifax council approved an ambitious bus rapid transit (BRT) network in 2020, but the plan is mostly collecting dust unless the province pitches in.
