Tim's speech

Good evening all,

Thank you for having us. I'm Timothy Maxwell, founder of Mightywheels and this is Michelle and Maureen.

Our Mightywheels mission is to bring attention to the things that are not right for people who use wheels.

Such as poor surface areas on city intersections, sidewalks and sidewalk ramps, non-accessible restaurants and other problems we face every day.

We want equal accessibility for all. So the people who use wheels can access all areas of our great city.

By the time a typical Canadian reaches 85 years old, 6-10 of us will have mobility issues or have to use a wheel chair.

Edmonton's intersections, sidewalks, and sidewalk ramps are not in the best of conditions. The group Tim has started called Mightywheels is a free service for anyone who uses wheels. For example, parents pushing baby strollers, the elderly with their walking devices, or people like Me and Tim and Maureen in wheel chairs.

To help everyone more, we provide an internet blog where anyone can post and discuss poor surface areas found in Edmonton and area.

Mightywheels is interested in expanding our goals by linking up with Calling wood Cares. Together we can create solutions to help solve the problems wheeled people face every day.
