The Everyone Everywhere Boat: Adaptive Sports on the Water

A new accessible fishing boat project is making a splash in the disability community! Grant Hardy has the story. Launched in 2025 as part of the Rick Hansen Foundation's Accessible Outdoors Program, the Everyone Everywhere boat aims to make fishing and fisheries research accessible while serving as a powerful model to follow. Matthew Shaw, Head of Accessibility Practice and Innovation at the Rick Hansen Foundation, shares how this exciting new invention aims to make fishing on the water smooth-sailing for people with physical disabilities. Chloe Angus has had a passion for fishing her entire life. She shares how the Everyone Everywhere boat brought her back into the water after going through a painful time without fishing. Lawrence Gunther, Founder of Blue Fish Canada, knows about the importance of inclusive outdoor activities, and offers us his perspectives on getting out in nature.
