A busy (and awesome) week! 📸

Andy started things off with a visit to the crew at FSWC Quebec, then met up with Sandi, Katie, and client Braden in Toronto for the 11th annual Canadian Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Association conference.

It was a great few days connecting with folks from across the ABT community, sharing ideas, and learning together. Andy also had the chance to speak about how we use FES at our centre, including our FES bike program!

Great times on the ice this weekend! 🥌

We hosted a wheelchair curling event on Saturday — nothing too serious, just a fun day to get together, throw some rocks, and enjoy the game. That said... things still got a little competitive 👀

Big congrats to our winners:

🏆 URO Medical – took out the top spot
🥈 Tryline Curlers – solid effort for second place
🎯 Stone Cold Curlers – winners of the consolation final

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great day. Already looking forward to the next one!
