💥 BLASTING UPDATE 💥

Construction activities are taking place across the street including blasting, piling and drilling. Before a blast is triggered, three short t***s on a loud horn occurs to let us know it’s coming. After the blast, there is one final horn signalling the blasting is over.

There is no schedule for these activities however the construction team can only operate during daylight hours.

Additionally, there is no danger but this can be unsettling if you are not expecting it. We apologize that we’re unable to provide any more specific information - I promise you, we’ve been trying to gather some!

We thank you for your patience and support during this time. This is so truly out of our hands and frustrating to deal with; we hope that these next few months zoom by smoothly.

Lots of love.

Your pal Lindsay & the TFC Team 💕💕

Float Ambasssdor Fridays ‼️ Now that we have the introductions done it’s time to start sharing blogs!!! 🛟✍️

Starting off the series with a poem called I wait (a float poem) from 🧡

I wait (a float poem)

the door gently closes

and I am plunged into the

waiting warm and welcoming

dark

sliding along the bottom onto my back

starfish until the waves of my entrance still

retract limbs away from the walls

I wait

for the last ripples to fade

I wait

When they do

I suddenly feel like I am moving again

Sometimes a slow arcing dive backwards into oblivion

which turns out to be a calm pool at the bottom of a deep well

where the light and the sounds of the world can’t touch me\

I wait

Sometimes I close my eyes and breathe

through wild gyrations

spinning and flipping like an astronaut in training

as the lack of senses tells my body

that we are tumbling through space

Out of control

I wait

I wait and I trust

I always come unhurriedly to a stop

A delicate but abrupt transition

into a state of omnipresent nothing

where the only things I have left to listen to

are my own thoughts

Then

my body feels as if it has infinite space

I am a cosmic being floating in the cradle of a spiral galaxy

I am a deep sea creature descending into the deepest trench

I am a maple key taking a ride down a lazy river

I am a mote drifting in a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon over a lover’s hip

I am the space between inhale and exhale, exhale and inhale

I am nothing and no one and nowhere

I wait

suspended

unburdened

cradled

while the universe breathes 🩵

Ursula is a multifaceted human and to know them is to love them ❣️ We are so lucky to have them as a

It's FRIDAYYYYY!! You know what that means.... FLOAT AMBASSADOR FRIDAY!! 🛟🤩⁠

This week we are introducing ✨️Steph✨️ they/them⁠

Steph Kincade is a q***r, non-binary, disabled Visual Artist. Their art spans from sculptural embroidery to working with traditional and nontraditional fibres of many kinds. They are a white settler in K’jipuktuk/Halifax Nova Scotia and hail originally from Menaquesk/Saint John, New Brunswick. 🧑‍🎨🧶🪡🧵🤍⁠

They began their artistic career working behind the scenes in the world of live theatre with a BA in scenography and technical scenography. Moving towards Embroidery in 2020, they are a self-taught artist supplemented by self-directed study with tutors around the world to gain specialized skills. Working in the arts has never diminished their love of science or their long-standing love affaire with marine biology and the tiny worlds many folks walk by without notice. These natural inspirations are the focus of much of their work.⁠ 🪸🪼🪱🌿🐝⁠

Past work includes MicroWorlds, a sculptural hand embroidery collection exploring the small and microscopic, and Stranglehold, a small collection of wearable art pieces inspired by toxic algae blooms. Current work explores the addition of freehand machine embroidery, explores the use of sustainably foraged plant fibres, and how to combine their art with science communication. They have had works exhibited in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario.⁠ 🧪🌱⁠

We are so proud to have a creative like Steph as part of the TFC Float Ambassador team! 💕 Be sure to give them a follow and check out their work! ⁠

This familiar face is a returning TFC Float Ambassador from last year and an OG float angel starting their float practice back in 2018 !!! 🥹 ⁠

Librarian. Witch. Artist. Q***r. Gen X. Singer. Neurodivergent former gifted kid. Retired bellydancer. The gender is fluid, the nerd is constant, and the pronouns are they/them causing may/hem. 📚️🧙🪄🧑‍🎨🎤🪩🔮🤓🏳️‍🌈⁠

A non-exhaustive list of their interests and hobbies, in no particular order: reading (SF&F, non-fiction, & comics,) writing, sewing, knitting, embroidery, drawing, watercolours, ecstatic states of consciousness, fat liberation, body modification, humpback whales, BLM, data visualization, monsters, video games, TTRPGs, anti-fascist Nordic pagan spirituality, Land Back, mythology, pottery, the Hero's Journey, cooking, gardening... "I am large, I contain multitudes," which means the struggle to not to turn every hyperfocus into a side gig or a tattoo is real. 📖✍️🧶🪡💧🎨🐳🖤🧌👹🕹️🍶🧑‍🍳🧑‍🌾⁠

Give this beautiful being a follow and you can find 2 blog posts currently written by them on our website titled "Floating While Fat: Will I Fit?" & "This is my brain on floats" 🥰 We love you Ursula!! 😘⁠

It's F L O A T A M B A S S A D O R F R I D A Y 🛟🫧⁠

This week we are introducing ✨️Colin✨️ he/him⁠

Colin first came to The Floatation Centre in 2020, at the time he was searching for relief from the symptoms and side effects of Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele (L5), Hydrocephalus, and Chiari II malformation symptoms, as well as seeking grounding amid ongoing challenges with mental health. What began as an act of curiosity and hope has since become a deeply rooted part of his wellness journey.⁠ 👨‍🦽🧘‍♂️🧠⁠

As both a physically disabled individual and su***de attempt survivor, The Floatation Centre represents far more than physical relief—it has become a space that nurtures reconnection with his body, mind, and sense of belonging. Floating has given him moments of peace, stillness, and strength that continues long after each session. Because of these lasting effects, he is able to show up more fully in the roles that matter most: as a son, brother, and father to a bright little bean who keeps his heart busy and spirit motivated.⁠ 🦸‍♂️💜💚🏠️⁠

Now, at 35, Colin is a continuing supporter of TFC and an advocate for accessibility and for amplifying the voices of those living with barriers—both visible and invisible. The Floatation Centre reminds him that healing is not about perfection; it is about presence, acceptance, and community. It remains a place where he continues to rediscover balance, possibility, and purpose.⁠ ⚖️♿️🗣️🎶☯️✍️💫⁠

Pop on over to and give him a follow‼️😊 We absolutely adore Colin and are super excited to have him join the TFC Ambassador family.😇 ⁠
