Well, hasn't this been a nice surprise? I earned two accolades at the 2026 Canadian Community Newsmedia Awards: second place for my ongoing Pique Newsmagazine arts coverage and third place for an @invictusgames25 feature I wrote titled "Adapted for Achievement" (feat. @whistleradaptive).

I'm grateful that my editor Braden Dupuis, publisher Sarah Strother and colleague @luke_faulks continue to make @piquenews a fun place to work. It's been a privilege to cover Olympians, young breakout athletes, talented local artists as well as major events like @crankworx and the @whistlerwritersfestival over the last four years.

What started as a way to motivate her daughter to practice stepping with her walker - and to encourage others to look beyond the device and see her child, is growing into so much more.
Accessible adventures, community outreach, and programs that provide opportunities to try new things are all part of the impact we’re making at WAWOS Canada.

Adventure for everyone! Our second Whistler Adaptive Adrenaline Weekend this summer brought together peers for an amazing weekend of outdoor recreation, connection and fun. From adaptive cycling on Whistler's trails to rock climbing, yoga and more, peers made lasting memories together.

A huge thank you to the team at Whistler Adaptive for helping make this summer so special.

I had so much fun in Whistler at the SCI BC Adrenaline Weekend hosted with Whistler Adaptive a couple weeks ago 🎉

We mountain biked, paddle-boarded, kayaked, took the gondola, and got to socialize with peers that understand the challenges of living with a spinal cord injury.

Opportunities like this are few and far between and I am beyond grateful to both organizations for making it possible.

If you’re living with a spinal cord injury and traveling to Whistler BC, DEFINITELY reach out to @whistleradaptive — They run programming all year round (including sit-skiing in the winter) and make getting outdoors seem a lot less overwhelming.

Anddd if you live in BC and have a spinal cord injury, @sci_bc hosts events all year round (this being one of many), often free or very subsidized, that you should definitely check out!

Throwing it back to last month when we had the pleasure of being part of Try It Day with @squamishadaptivemountainbiking , @whistleradaptive , and @radrecreationadaptedsociety !
So many more butts in bikes, trying Adaptive riding for the first time or seasoned veterans. The location at @mtnfun_basecamp in Squamish definitely added to the all round vibes!
Thank you to everyone who came out to try our bikes, ask questions, or simply just to hang.
If you’re ever in the area and are looking to test out a Bowhead bike, definitely get in touch with these amazing programs!
It’s always a bucket filler with these groups!

Join us at the Whistler Bike Park for an opportunity to try a variety of bikes, learn how to access the gondola, the learning area, and the adaptive trails. This event is open to individuals of any age with disabilities, no experience needed and is a great opportunity to try a variety of e-assist adaptive bikes, with guidance from experienced instructors.

Full send into summer! We had a blast at our first ever Whistler Adaptive Adrenaline Weekend for peers under 30, hosted in partnership with Whistler Adaptive.

Peers explored adaptive biking on trails and the pump track, then took to the water for adaptive kayaking, paddleboarding and canoeing. New experiences, adventure and connection all rolled into one incredible weekend!

A big thank you to the team at Whistler Adaptive for helping make every moment unforgettable.
