My Book.
I've been working on my book, It's called simply "My Book" an autobiographer to help people understand what I have been through and why I needed to create Mightywheels to help all humans young or old with accessibility issues. We even help anyone who uses wheels because it's not the wheels we fix, it is the ground or surface areas on which we focus on getting repaired, and this benefits everyone.

I'm a do,er.
Why I don't go to ADFourm no more,
This is what I wanted to do for the ADForum I was trying to invite the West Edmonton Mall’s hotel manager over to our next meeting and (putting him/her on the hot seat) asking a number of questions, like how come 85% of hotel do not have up-to-date accessibility building codes like theirs and out of their 500 roomed hotel why are only 2 designated accessible? Most of the ADForum mouths dropped, making the manager feel uncomfortable is against the law. I turned it around commenting “Isn’t packing us handicapped people into little unsafe rooms against the law too?

Mightywheels was born.
I started Mightywheels to help people who use wheels, I'm an independent advocate that's always is looking for new member with new ideas to help people, Mightywheels.ca a wheel accessibility team, that will bring up and stand up for all people using wheels, accessibility for all. We'll bring attention to the poor surface area and report it to the right person, working for the city of Edmonton, so everyone can access their beautiful Edmonton. This free service can be used by anyone, parents pushing baby strollers, people using walking aids or wheelchairs like my self.
Our mission is to help bring much needed attention to difficulties people face every day. We want equal accessibility, so we can all access our beautiful city. I am hoping to raise awareness for people who struggle with accessibility each day. We'll appreciate any help that comes our way. I could not do this without my team of various helpers.

Mail.
I receive a number of emails every day, that ask me not to come to their business because their builds are too old, to be accessible I understand that. But, what does bug me is people not understanding what Mightywheels does for society. We are only middle men for people who use wheels, here are 3 examples.
#1 a parent who pushes their baby stroller down 69th avenue to meet a friend at SecondCup she/he notices the broken sidewalk to enter the business. That’s when you can email Mightywheels and complain. Mightywheels has many contacts through the city. We will contact the right people to get the sidewalk repaired.
#2 a person using a walking aid down 69th avenue to meet a friend at SecondCup she/he notices the broken sidewalk to enter the business. That’s when you can email Mightywheels and complain. Mightywheels has many contacts through the city. We will contact the right people to get the sidewalk repaired.
#3 a person using a wheelchair, wheeling down 69th avenue to meet a friend at SecondCup she/he notices the broken sidewalk to enter the business. That’s when you can email Mightywheels and complain. Mightywheels has many contacts through the city. We will contact the right people to get the sidewalk repaired.

When you first look at me, you see a guy in a chair; it's what you don't see that's really important.
When
you first look at me, you see a guy in a chair; it's what you don't see that's
really important. I have an over compensating part in me that wants to help all
people in the world, so I created a blog that would help them and I call it Mightywheels.ca.
We don't work on fixing wheels or anything like that; we focus on getting the
surface areas we wheel on, repaired by the city. That helps all people -
parents pushing baby strollers and people using walking aids or wheelchairs
like myself. My blog was started as a little way to benefit everyone. I take
mission to help others very seriously, and to continue what I'm doing I need to
stay in shape, eat right, workout and do yoga stretches every day.
Quand vous me regardez d'abord, vous voyez
un gars dans une chaise; C'est ce que vous ne voyez pas, c'est vraiment
important. J'ai une partie en pleine compensation qui veut aider toutes les
personnes dans le monde, donc j'ai créé un blog qui les aiderait et je
l'appellerais Mightywheels.ca. Nous ne travaillons pas sur la fixation de roues
ou quelque chose comme ça; nous nous concentrons sur les zones de surface sur
lesquelles nous roulons, réparés par la ville. Cela aide toutes les personnes -
les parents poussant les poussettes et les personnes Ă utiliser des aides Ă la
marche ou des fauteuils roulants comme moi. Mon blog a commencé comme un petit
moyen de profiter à tous. Je prends la mission d'aider les autres très
sérieusement, et pour continuer ce que je fais, je dois rester en forme, manger
bien, faire de l'exercice et faire des exercices de yoga tous les jours.

Google Maps Wants to Improve Its Wheelchair-Accessible Routes with Crowd sourced Data
Google is trying to improve the wheelchair-accessibility information in Google Maps, following a 125,000-signature-strong petition calling on it to do so.
On Wednesday, Google Maps software engineer Sasha
Blair-Goldensohn—who was himself paralyzed by a falling tree branch eight
years ago—wrote in a blog post that the mapping app
does show wheelchair-accessible routes thanks to information submitted by
volunteers, but "not everyone knows this tool exists, so we want to do
more."
Blair-Goldensohn said Google wants the volunteers who contribute
to Google Maps, known as Local Guides, to add more information for those with
impaired mobility.
The volunteers can do this by going to the section of the app
that asks the user questions about the place where they're currently
located—the Android version of Google Maps even suggests nearby places that
have insufficient information—and answer the questions about wheelchair access.
"If each of our tens of millions of Local Guides answers
three of these questions every day for two weeks, we can gather nearly two
billion answers to help people who rely on this information every day,"
Blair-Goldensohn wrote.
"You'll also be making life easier for families with
strollers, seniors with walkers, or anyone making plans with a friend who has
impaired mobility," he added.
A London woman named Belinda Bradley started an online petition last month
calling on Google to make such a move. She was inspired by her own experience
trying to negotiate the British capital with friends and family who have
disabilities.
"We found that all routes provided by Google Maps demanded
stairs, bumpy paths, small hills, foot bridges, crossings without slopes and
many times there was no room on the pavement for the chair," she wrote.
"It should be easy for everyone to get around, no matter who you
are!"

charming.
Everyone wants their prince or princess charming to be perfect, but, wake up people, we all have flaws, ain't it what's on the inside that counts.
Look at my outsides, I use a wheelchair to get around, and if you look at my insides, you see that I create a website, to help all people who use wheels, called Mightywheels. We don't work on fixing wheels or nothing like that, we focus on getting the ground or surface area we wheel on repaired for all people, parents pushing baby strollers, people using walking aids or wheelchairs like my self, this way it benefits everyone.
If you have any other questions? please just ask.

97 Street and 103 A Avenue, bus stop problem.
I work downtown, get off my bus on 103 A Avenue, I turn and go along 97 Street south.. I need to go to Jasper Avenue, I have to catch a bus at the Court house.. How on earth am I going to get the bus real fast...? A person walking can simply just walk off the corner... cross the street and voila...at the bus stop... but NOT me...!! I have to struggle to wheel my chair real fast to get to the bus... but I have to go a lot more distance to get to the stop. When I finally reach the stop... crap the bus past by....!!!
Now here I sit, another half an hour for the next bus... when I could have simply just went from corner to corner if there were some ramps at the start and made the first bus. Someone needs to fix that please!!

Some peoples children,
I just did a compete front flip off of the damaged sidewalk, I didn't want that. two cars stopped, one of the drivers held my chair for me to get back in. The other yelled "where's your seat belt" excuse me but,my chair is less then 20lbs last thing I want is it following me, or worst yet it braking and sticking into me.

Look Sir.
I'm in a wheelchair, and I used my brain to create a company called Mightywheels to help all people who use wheels. like parents pushing baby strollers, people using walking aids or wheelchairs like my self. That way it's not just me complaining to the government about how crappie their sidewalks and intersections are.

Parking lot rocks.
Today I was crossing the parking lot and at the edge of the parking lot, I saw these rocks. They are decorative rocks to go on the curb of the parking lot. Someone knocked them down onto the parking lot and I stopped to pick them up and put them back on the curb. While doing so, a teenager on a skateboard rolled by me and asked me what I was doing. I told him in Spruce Grove, one of my many ex-girlfriends, hit a rock in the parking lot with her baby stroller, almost losing her baby in the process. From that point on, I pick up rocks or anything that can hinder people getting by. After explaining that to the skateboarder kid, he scratched his head and looked at me with a puzzled expression, and said, "I should do that too because I have a fiancé with a child."
