Such a great May long weekend, starting out with Caspa at Revelry and wrapping up with the Knox Mountain Hill Climb.

🧥 The Poncho Upgrade!

For the last couple of months I have been rocking a brand new poncho. The old setup (a blanket with a hole cut in it) had a good run but it was time for something better.

Thanks to my mom and her incredible sewing skills we were able to design something completely tailor made for me. This thing is a total game changer!

Here's what we worked with. The outer layer is lightweight, durable, breathable, and repels water, wind, and snow. The two inner layers are a lightweight insulated fabric. The rear of the poncho has no insulated material to prevent my ventilator from overheating and to keep insulation fluff away from the air inlets.

A zipper in the front makes it easy to pull on and off, and there's a zippered slit on the right side so my phone and wheelchair display stay visible even when I'm fully covered.

No, my mom isn't taking custom orders but if you're interested in copying the design I'm happy to share more detailed information!

Here are the fabrics we used:

Vancouver Adventures – TFL, Gastown & Beyond!

Just got back from Vancouver and what a trip! I was there for Technology for Living's Simon Cox Student Design Competition and the innovative ideas on display were incredible.

While in the city we linked up with friends and explored a few new spots. Food highlights were Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar in Gastown and Pinky's On Main. Pinky's was a tighter squeeze space wise but the vibe more than made up for it!

One of the best decisions we made was ditching the van and using public transit throughout the trip. SkyTrains and the SeaBus to North Vancouver made getting around so easy. Honestly I'm a little jealous of Vancouver's transit system. It's extremely well thought out and accessible.

Speaking of accessibility, here's a great tip I picked up from a friend. On all wheelchair gates at SkyTrain stations there is an RFID scanner directly above the gate. You can contact TransLink for a special RFID card at no cost, which eliminates the barrier of having to reach the standard Compass Card scanner. Such a simple but important solution!

🌟 Femme Fatale: Red Carpet Rewind – Kelowna Events Centre

Last night did not disappoint! Femme Fatale: Red Carpet Rewind at the Kelowna Events Centre showcased some incredibly talented women from all across the Okanagan.

The energy in the room was something else and I highly recommend checking out any of the Femme Fatale events if you get the chance. These are the kinds of shows that remind you just how much local talent is out there.

On the accessibility front the Kelowna Events Centre is a wonderful open space. I also heard there's an elevator to access the upper mezzanine which I'll definitely be checking out next time!

🎵 Fort Knox Five – AesthetiKsLAB, Kelowna

I missed out on catching Fort Knox Five at AesthetiKsLAB in Kelowna last week and I'm still a little bummed about it!

My good friend checked out the accessibility and I'm happy to report some good news! The event took place on the second floor and there is an elevator inside the venue. Staff and management were very welcoming and open to answering accessibility questions, and the washroom looks like it has decent open space as well.

AesthetiKsLAB is now firmly on my radar and I can't wait to catch a show there in the near future. If you're in the Kelowna area and haven't checked this place out yet, sounds like it's worth a visit!

🎧 Dion Timmer & Excision – Revelry, Kelowna
Tonight was a great!!! Dion Timmer performing with Excision at Revelry in Kelowna was exactly what I needed. The place was absolutely packed and the vibes were incredible.
Revelry remains my absolute favourite venue in Kelowna and nights like this remind me why. It's the perfect size for this type of event and I'm happy to say it's fully accessible. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's absolutely worth a visit!
A big shoutout to Wednesday Club who opened. First time seeing them and I'm already a huge fan. Keep an eye on these guys! 🙌

🎸 Rise Against – Penticton Trade and Convention Centre

Okay, so I'm a little late posting this one… but better late than never! Last week we caught Rise Against at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre and it was an absolute blast!

I'll be honest, I wasn't very familiar with Rise Against going in, but I left a full-on fan. Sometimes that's the best way to discover a band!

I went with friends and the vibe in that place was incredible. Fair warning for fellow wheelchair users though, it's all one floor so actually seeing the stage can be a challenge. I mostly experienced this one through sound and energy and honestly. That energy was everything.

If you're looking for a smaller venue in Penticton to catch a live show, the Trade and Convention Centre is a fun spot.

Rise Against, consider me a fan. 🤘

🕯️🎸 Rock Orchestra by Candlelight – Penticton, BC
Last night was unique! The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight rolled through the South Okanagan Events Centre and wow, hearing a full orchestra tear through Nirvana, System of a Down, and Metallica by candlelight is something else. I've caught another one of these candlelight events before (shoutout to Vivaldi 🎻), but this one hit different.
We ended up in Section 108 up in the stands and honestly the view from up there was chef's kiss. Accessible floor seating wasn't available through the website, so Section 108 was our spot and I was more than happy with it!
The best part of the night? The row of seniors next to us absolutely rocking out. Honestly, that made it! 🤘
If candlelight events aren't already on your radar, put them there. I'll definitely be watching for the next one!

Looking for an accessible seaside outing? Sidney, BC is a great spot to add to your list. 🌊

The waterfront in downtown Sidney features a beautiful seaside breakwater that’s perfect for a relaxed roll along the ocean.

While there, check out the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea aquarium. It’s largely accessible (with the exception of one upstairs room). They have an accessible public washroom equipped with an overhead lift and an adult-sized change table — something that can make a huge difference for many travelers!

Huge thanks to my cousin James for sharing this helpful info!

If you’ve visited Sidney, BC and have photos or accessibility tips to share, drop them in the comments. Your recommendations can help other travelers plan their trip.

Vancouver, but make it fine dining and luxury ✨

This trip was all about indulging. We stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel in a panoramic harbour-view room, and massive doesn’t even begin to describe it! While it wasn’t a designated wheelchair-accessible room, we made it work and the views were absolutely worth it.

Neither my friend nor I had ever tried caviar before, so we decided to change that in style at the Parker Rooftop. Champagne, caviar, and sweeping city views...definitely a first, and definitely a treat!

We also checked out the Taboo Convention. While it didn’t quite live up to previous years, it was still worth a visit if you’re in Vancouver and curious.

One highlight of this trip was exploring the city in my brand-new custom-made poncho. Total game changer. My old one wasn’t weatherproof, rainproof, or windproof—this one handled everything. That meant I could actually wander Vancouver’s streets in comfort.

I’ll be sharing another post soon breaking down the materials and design choices behind this new poncho, because it deserves its own spotlight.
