Canadian Parlympic Committee Presentation and Road Trip

I was asked by the Paralympic committee to do a presentation about Paralympic/adaptive sport. I had to travel an 1hour and a half to get to this small, community school that was very welcoming. Brittany came with me to keep me company, make the ride more interesting and help me carry all my stuff. Thank you. It is greatly appreciated!!!!

I brought my sledge and sticks, that I use to play sledge hockey and my skis and outriggers!

They did not know, but this was my first presentation that I did by myself in front of 90 students plus faculty and staff. I feel that it went really well. My goal was to really get to one person. After the presentation the principal was thrilled and one of the teachers came and talked to me saying she has a little girl that has CP and thought it was great to see that things are possible.

When we walked into the gym the grade 3/4 class had drawn these posters for me and the Paralympics. They are such good artists and they let me take one home which I will be putting up on my wall.

One of the videos played was the following one, we are stoked for the paralympians to represent our country during the summer 2012  in London

On our way there we saw some unique southern alberta items.

Yes, these were potatoes that are welcoming us to the city.

Doesn't this grab your attention and make you want to go into Kirks!,

well it made us want to take a picture... All I can see is ATTRACTIVE!

We thought this looked like wally when we were driving...

A creepy motel...

This is for Brittany, a pigeon...

A corn stalk, welcoming us into the city

Ok...

We thought it was great, they are advertising Olympics, we are not sure what was in the building though.

Brittany also showed me how to use my cruise control... which I did think was broken and didn't work. The entire way after that, both to Hays and back to Lethbridge I used cruise and was thoroughly excited!
