Remember when I wrote about the winter control accessibility line? Well, I tried it out, and damn am I ever impressed! I still need to phone the line back and say thank you very much! As everyone for miles around knows, on Saturday the sky opened up and snow came in a hell of a …

I thought I would put this up on the blog for fellow Guelphites with disabilities who may or may not read here. I found out about this at the last committee meeting I was at, but that was the day before taking the grey dog home, so I was kinda busy. This was published in …
Remember back when I mentioned the recreation project Guelph Barrier-Free Committees is doing? Well, Steve urged me to send the little blurb to the Guelph Tribune and see what happens. So, I did, and holy crap, we got a story! And, it’s working! We’ve already had a few phone calls and emails! This is good. …

Wow! While I was busy raving about how awesome our voting process was, Jen, who often sends us ideas and stuff was having one hell of a horrible experience while voting in Hamilton’s municipal election. Here is what she said happened to her. Well in the first place they didn’t have the accessible machines available …
Some quick results/observations on a few of the Guelph election races: Karen Farbridge won another term as Mayor, beating David Birtwistle by around 4300 votes. I’m fine with this. Nothing is ever perfect, but for the most part I’m happy with how the city has been run since she came back in 2006. If I …
I’ve mentioned sometimes that I’m on the Guelph Barrier-Free Committees, and sometimes I’ve plugged events we’ve put on. We’re right in the middle of another project, so I figured I’d plug it here. I never know who reads, so I might as well use anything I’ve got to spread the word. Here’s the little blurb. …
