I know TheATGeeks.com is a space for technology but I couldn’t help posting about an awesome event coming up at Algonquin College
Rick Hansen is coming to Algonquin College on Friday, October 28th.
Meet him at the H-building entrance! Line the halls at 12:00 pm and come with Rick to the Marketplace D cafeteria. Share his story.
Justin Hines is performing!
Rick Hansen’s “Man In Motion” tour, 25 years ago, was the beginning of a journey to make a positive difference in people’s lives. He travelled 40,000 km through 34 countries in his wheelchair, and is currently retracing the Canadian segment of that epic tour on the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay.

Pass it along
It is going to be a good event. I saw him back in the 1980s when he was going across Canada. Man that seems like the olden days now!
Yep, yep, yep… The good ol’ days (creek, grumble, groan). I was in grade school. I remember seeing Rick on TV and talking about him in class (I was in a school called Cambridge, near Forest Park East, Mr Bradbury was my teacher then). I also remember having really high cut shoes, acid wash jeans and a baseball style concert T-shirt with Quiet Riot on it. Come on feel the nosie!
What an awesome Friday afternoon! Met Rick, saw some succesful Algonquin grads, watched Justin Hines and felt lucky to be there!

I wish I could have been there. Sounds like it was a fantastic event.
