From Spinal Injury to Island Impact: Tanelle Bolt & the RAD Revolution | Sidney by the Sea Rotary

Every Thursday at the Shaw Centre, Sidney by the Sea Rotary Club brings powerful voices to the community — and this week’s conversation is unforgettable.    • From Spinal Injury to Island Impact: Tanel...   We’re joined by Tanelle Bolt, founder of RAD Society (Recreation Adaptive Society), interior designer, adaptive recreation innovator, and community changemaker. After sustaining a spinal cord injury at 27, Tanelle transformed personal adversity into leadership — launching RAD to make adaptive recreation accessible and affordable for people with mobility challenges. From $42,000 adaptive golf equipment to $30,000 specialty bikes, the barriers are real — but so is her solution. In this candid Island conversation, we explore: • Leadership born from uncharted waters • Why “can’t” is often a design problem • The economics of accessibility • Adaptive recreation as preventative healthcare • Universal design & the future of barrier-free housing • Why partnership — not pity — changes communities With Vancouver Island’s aging demographic and rising mobility challenges, this discussion couldn’t be more timely. This is a story about courage, innovation, and redefining what’s possible.
