Free screening of “Re-inventing The Wheel” documentary Dec. 3-5

Free screening of the documentary film, “Re-Inventing The Wheel”, will be made available between Dec. 3-5, showing how a unique community of wheelchair-users guide the newly injured Dan McLean and his wife Colleen through Dan’s first year of life as a paraplegic. It is a roller coaster of emotion, documenting all aspects of spinal cord injury and, most importantly, the power of peer support. But don't let these pretty faces fool you though. “Re-Inventing The Wheel” is full of wheelchair debauchery and shenanigans. This community prides on having fun, even with wheels stuck to your butt. You would need to register to receive access to this film HERE.

Shedding a light on a vibrant community, “Re-Inventing The Wheel” documents the lives of active wheelchair users living in Kelowna, British Columbia. From sailing to golfing, camping to biking, there isn’t anything this group can’t do. This is not your average peer support group and this is not your average ‘inspirational’ story you’d see in the news. People from all ‘walks’ of life and diverse abilities travel to the valley to get a little taste of this unique Okanagan Lifestyle. Follow along as this tribe of wheelies bands together and aid Dan and Colleen into Dan’s new life on wheels. They challenge him, support him and, most importantly, guide him through struggles and triumphs.
