Pathways to Independence

Pathways to Independence - Pathways to Independence

Non-profit organization

Bob started out life on the prairies, moving to Toronto at age 11. The next almost 30 years were spent in Toronto, 20 of those years working for Scotiabank.
The lure of life outside Toronto was overwhelming so Bob, Mary, their horses and cats moved to a farm just north of Stirling. The total change was wonderful. Work was found at Sears Canada, and bread was on the table.
In 1991, Bob’s best friend was involved in a military Hercules crash in Alert, NU and ended up in a wheelchair. This was clearly the start in an interest in persons with disabilities. As time moved on and with Bob’s love of downhill skiing it drew him to the Ontario Track 3 organization teaching children with disabilities how to downhill ski. The synergy of these two events with Pathways was simply too much to ignore.
