This week, Kendra sits down with David Legg, Mount Royal University professor and longtime advocate for disability sport, for a wide-ranging conversation about inclusion, innovation, and the power of winter sports to foster a sense of belonging. David reflects on how his personal experiences and career in adapted physical activity and the Paralympic movement shaped his belief that accessibility starts with attitude, curiosity, and a willingness to say yes. Together, they explore how organizations like Rocky Mountain Adaptive and Sunshine Village help normalize disability in sports, why inclusive design benefits everyone, and how winter sports, community, and opportunity can open doors for people of all abilities.
