Preasentaion

          I gave a presentation to Transitions St. Alberta and their Jump start class.

     Hello, my name is Timothy Maxwell, and my mission is to help people who use wheels.  I'm an independent advocate for people that use wheels. I’m running a team of helpers called Mightywheels.

Because, when I first started using wheels, I noticed many poor surface areas and wanted to create an internet blog to help other people who use wheels. The city has made many improvements, but there is much to do.  Help is still needed for everyone, from parents pushing baby strollers, the elderly with their walking devices, or people like me, in wheelchairs.

So, I went back to school to learn how to create a team of people that could help me with my endeavor, I call this Mightywheels. The teams objective is to raise awareness to the problems people who use wheels face everyday. These include poor surface areas on city intersections, poor  sidewalks and sidewalk ramps, and non-accessible places of business. 

It is Mightywheels mission to work with
all businesses to try and find ways to make them more wheel friendly. That way, all customers will have improved accessibility.

                                  We want equal accessibility, so we can all access our beautiful city.
