    I’m near crying from the accessibility features on those kayaks, I never realized I could be able to kayak for longer than a half an hour due to balance and strength

    Whenever I see videos of people enjoying my city and especially the mountains It often makes me think I take where I live for granted because I've been here for all 25 years of my life but the mountains have been and always will be my happy place! I love them so much I even have a tattoo of them on the back of my neck

    The museum, candle making, and kayaking sound like a lovely Canadian adventure 🍁 It was incredible to see that you were part of the Paralympics opening ceremony!!

    So so blessed to live 1.5 hours away from Banff and an hour away from Canmore in Calgary, it’s a beautiful and surreal place!! ❤️ It’s really cool seeing you visit the city I live in!

    Incredibly well thought out kayaking place.
    The restaurant foods looked absolutely incomparable. I'm afraid to ask what they could do for a long slow breakfast.
    By all means, yes. More Canada, but Elton MUST be there with you. I had no idea he was such a small dog. (Yes, to me seventy pounds is just pocket sized.)

    Wow, what an amazing trip! I’m so glad that you made this video. As a primarily homebound person, I deeply miss being able to travel, try new things, and enjoy wonderful restaurants. Seeing you enjoying all of these activities made me a bit emotional. Sad for my limitations. But excited to see accessible activities for all types of people.

    Absolutely awesome! Back in 1989, I took my younger daughter to the college she was going to attend in Canada. Being from large US cities, we were accustomed to things in public not looking great...(vandalism, graffiti, litter, etc.) and we were really wowed by how CLEAN it was in Calgary! No graffiti, no litter, no discarded gum on the sidewalks...given that it's a sizeable city, with big-city vibes, we were truly impressed.

    • @3amhellbeast
      @3amhellbeast 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I totally get this! I honestly have a hard time travelling anywhere else because of how clean it is, it's one of the first things I notice whenever I go on vacation. I think it has a lot to do with how taking care of the environment is drilled into us going through school like the leave no trace program and often doing things like cleaning up the environment and such in school, how things like garbages are accessible and easy to find (which also means that we harshly judge anyone who opts to litter pretty harshly because there is no good excuse for it), and also not only valuing art in our province, but having so many spaces and outlets for those to practice it, including graffiti art!
      Unfortunately due to an abundance of people moving here over the past few years (so many that our poor cities like Calgary cannot keep up), issues with homelessness and and increase in drug use, abuse, and crime, it has gotten a bit worse. Even Canmore (which is where I grew up) has seen an increase in crime and isn't quite as safe as it once was, and some people unfortunately don't respect the outdoors as they should which has led to an increase in litter along trails and hiking paths, or just in the forests in general which is pretty disappointing. But it is still very nice compared to a lot of places in the world and I am still incredibly happy to live here and be able to call this place my home!

    WOW! Those canoe adaptations are amazing. I need to work out where I can find something similar in London! And how proud was I when I spotted you in the opening ceremony of the Paralympic’s!

  • @HaleyMary
    @HaleyMary 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    That Canadian music hall of fame looks amazing! As a music lover, that would be so cool to check out!
    I love that hack you use of sticking your cane in the elevator door so it doesn't close. That's awesome!
    I love how you named the drink Elton's Brew! And, that fragrance mix Eltie Hugs!
    I love those grip strengths on the paddles! Over the past few years, I've noticed weak grip strength, so something like that would really help me if I were to ever kayak or go boating.

    The accessibility of the Kayaking was incredible and amazing. It's so frustrating that things like this aren't more common because this sort of thing can be so helpful for so so many different people. Is it universal design? These things should be everywhere!

    Banff was already on my list of places I'd love to go to, and it just jumped up a few spots! I LOVE that Eden has vegan options! It's not often you see restaurants have vegan food that's not just a salad, pasta primavera, or a beyond/impossible burger! Definitely will go there whenever I get to Banff!

    As an Alberta girly, this was so awesome to watch!! We rarely get to Calgary as it's an 8hr drive from us, but it is a beautiful city & I love the mountains!! I just read a book about Forest Bathing & I am excited to learn that I don't have to travel to Japan to do a forest bathing guided experience!
