Almost home from an amazing 10 day trip to Spain with the 2019 Para Pan Am Games swim team. It was a very successful training camp for the swimmers and I had a great experience in the role of Assistant Team Manager! Thank you to Swimming Canada / Natation Canada for the opportunity!

The first step/hop/roll/stroke/push/pedal/paddle/lift/throw/bump/jump of any sporting career begins with an awareness of not only what is physically possible but what is available. #awareness #athletedevelopment #RoleModel #programming #parasport

This is why we need to do a better job educating volunteer coaches, typically well meaning Moms and Dads, whose hearts are in the right place but they have no true idea what they are getting themselves into.

An article I wrote for Sport and Dev regarding recommendations for including individuals with a disability in sport. sportanddev.org/en/article/new…

Our thoughts are with Danielle Campo McLeod and her family, as Danielle is in hospital battling unexpected medical complications after the birth of her third child. Danielle is a 2 time Paralympian, who won multiple medals at the 2000 and 2004 Paralympics ow.ly/pkYo50GaHWq

If ⁦Western University⁩ is really committed to barrier free access, how is that a graduating PhD shows up for convocation to find elevators not working, closed doors and a stage not set up for equal access?? Not being part of procession and not connecting with peers is equal access?

“Participated” in convocation Western University today to receive my doctorate. One of the most dishearteningly inaccessible experiences I’ve had in a long time. (The broken elevator wasn’t even the worst of it.)
