Every year, McInnes Cooper hosts a volunteer event for incoming law students at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. This year, they tried something a little different than usual, partnering with Makers Making Change to hold a build event, with the adapted toys going to children with disabilities at the IWK Children’s Hospital.
As part of our Youth Making Change initiative, we’ve welcomed aboard many new members to our team to help us out with engineering and community outreach.
Ean Price has lived in British Columbia his entire life. Born in Dawson Creek, his family moved to the Okanagan when he was five years old, “after being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at 10 months, my parents decided that I was going to be way too high maintenance to live in the bush.”
Earlier this summer, we introduced our OpenAT 3D Printed Toy project which is a different take on switch-accessible toys. The goal of this project is to create a switch adapted toy that provides multiple, selectable feedback options and is easy to make.
On Saturday, October 15th, we were pleased to partner with Brampton Library to host a Youth Making Change family build event at their Springdale Branch.
