Michelle Mahoney (Occupational Therapy) started skiing this January through the Canadian Association of Disabled Skiiers (CADS) program at Martock Ski Resort. The national organization boasts more than 1,000 members and over 1,900 able-bodied volunteers across Canada. Michelle heard about the program through first-year Occupational Therapy student Kristy Taylor. The program at Martock has 15 student volunteers, ten of whom are from the Occupational Therapy program at Dalhousie.
