I just moved In

I have moved into West Edmonton Village and really like it.  Today I went to the N.E.T. police center in the first appt building to present my idea.

 Hi, my names Tim I've been in a wheel chair for 20+ years and I have noticed that 90% of the (so called) handy capped accessible entries, to buildings are not independently accessible. (meaning you need someone to help you.)

Everyone who uses wheels wants to be the most independent they safely can be.

So, thats why I have launched a Internet blog called mightywheels.blogspot.ca 
that will hopefully bring about some changes for accessibility regulations in our beautiful city, which will really help people using wheels get around better.

When my group gets more established,

we plan to startup a weekly documentary\show on transportation for people that use wheels.

look, look

Coming soon..

Mightywheels in West Edmonton, We plan to bring attention to bad surface areas, due to ice heaves and winter erosion, We feel by informing The land or property owners, giving them a reasons to fix the area and hopefully giving people who use wheels access to all areas of the city.

Remember, it's all about accessibility for all of us.

Its sad..

I was told by the city of Spruce Grove, to stop trying to enforcing a law that does not exists, lots of people were seeing the many problems people with wheels were having, I guess they were just waiting for me to do something about it. But, without a license, my group had to brake apart.

After I finished up at a gym, he took a cab to the mall to do some wheeling around and to get some lunch. As I was eating, I noticed an elderly man fighting with the restroom/washroom door. As I approached him I noticed that the door kept closing on him, it was the size of the the doorstop that was giving him the grief. I complain about that doorstop before, but the mall did nothing about it, I just ended up going to Staples and buying a new doorstop for the mall.

The Tri-Center needed me to help calculate the handy-capped restrooms/washrooms.

That day, I really found out how much people who aren’t in wheelchair don't really have any idea of what Wheel chair bound people need. The maintenance man that was doing the work in the restroom/washroom had the door of the stall backwards so a wheelchair would not even fit.

I corrected him and now I can't find have any issues with those restroom/washrooms.

I was at the mall in Spruce Grove, outside at Shoppers drug mart waiting for my ride. I started to watch this mother, she was pushing a baby stroller, one of the big wheeled strollers. She came to the curb that didn’t have a ramp and even she had troubles, so me Being in a chair, know I could never physically make it. So, I went to the mall office and complained ferociously, until they did something about it.

A friend of mine helped this older lady in a wheelchair, come up the wheelchair ramp, to Tim Horton's. When she came, she went down the wheel chair ramp, If her husband wasn't there to hold her back, I'm sure she would of fallen out, I felt the wheelchair ramp was unsafe, and I complained about it many times. Tim Horton’s said it was the malls problem maybe they were Right, but they should never in danger their customers.
