Trails and Trees - UPDATE

Posted by Dan Kammerer

on Nov 20, 2012

Nursing students gave a presentation on the research they completed for the MHC campus Trails and Trees path regarding purchasing and placing benches. Students had the opportunity to work with Parkinson's Alberta Society to learn about physical restrictions experienced by people with disabilities.

They found out that people with disabilities can walk about 250 - 350m before tiring out. In doing their research, students walked the paths of a number of parks to look at benches and accessibility. They decided to space benches every 250 m and chose benches with arm rests. A copy of their presentation info is located in the Club Documents section of our site.

Guests: Deanna Haysom, Tanis Robinson and five nursing students from MH College, Dave Pannamaker and Leslie Jeffries of the Medicine Hat Rotary Club.
