My family is beyond grateful to this man and all he has accomplished for so many. https://gadgetgreg.com/2026/05/26/the-neighbour-who-helped-build-the-paralympic-movement-dr-robert-d-steadward/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSDygdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeQ1WqnMrU9HH01R1qaF-P0Uz6_lBg8NNypwGg0LKWURmMvv5Vv7wTOWB7MG8_aem_GMWsPjYpcoLmtTafwDDHXw

As South Edmonton’s Malmo Plains neighbourhood was taking shape, one of those neighbours was Dr. Robert D. Steadward, CC,OC, AOE, PhD, LLD , known to many simply as “Dr. Bob.”

We are still thinking about our Dogs with Wings Assistance Dog Society graduation ceremony last month and feeling so much gratitude!

From proud moments on stage to happy tears in the crowd, it was a reminder of how much heart and teamwork goes into every step of this work. Every graduation represents years of training, support, learning, and love from an entire community behind each dog.

We are so proud of every team that graduated and so excited to see all the amazing things ahead for these partnerships!

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special. We could not do this without you!
