The mission of the Challenger Little League is to provide physically and developmentally challenged children, teens and young adults in Calgary and the surrounding area the opportunity to experience the fun of playing baseball. I spent a summer as a volunteer coach for two teams in this league. I coached teens and young adults with physical and developmental challenges the game of baseball and worked to make sure the every player had an opportunity to succeed and have fun. This is a picture of my two teams as well as the hat that I wore with pride when I was their coach. This photo demonstrates my passion for baseball and my belief that everyone can succeed and all children deserve equal opportunities regardless of their mental or physical ability.
This is a thank-you card I received from Trout Unlimited Canada in 2013 because of my engagement in the annual fish rescue. In the fall, irrigation channels are drained and the countless fish that entered these channels in the summer lose their water, and inevitably their lives if nothing is done to save them. As the president of the University of Calgary Biology Student’s Association, I organised student volunteers to help Trout Unlimited capture and rescue these fish to be released in nearby bodies of water. Besides rescuing thousands of fish, valuable data is collected regarding the species, size composition, and abundance of entrained fish. The Fish Rescue is also an excellent educational opportunity for the many volunteers and participants.
