Pioneer’s Commitment to Accessibility Lives On
During her life, Pat Hardy led the way for people living with disabilities –literally. The Canadian founder of Wings on Wheels, Pat used her experience living with Cerebral Palsy to organize and lead travel tours for others with disabilities. When not travelling the world, she found time to work with the Indoor Sports Club. Sadly, Pat passed away in 2014, but her bequest to the CPABC will help to ensure that her vision of accessibility continues to be supported. We are grateful for her example, and her thoughtful legacy. Please consider a gift to the CPABC as a part of your personal estate planning.
