Saskatoon man begins journey to create fully accessible resort
Life for people with mobility issues can be challenging, but one man is clearing the path to make the weight a little lighter.
Jason Stanoffsky has started a GoFundMe campaign in hopes to raise $125,000 to renovate his Emma Lake resort to be accessible for people with mobility issues.
In 2002, Stanoffsky opened Jewel of the North Resort, but tragically got into a car accident in 2006. He broke his neck as the result of a single vehicle rollover and has been a quadriplegic since.
“This is really not about me, I am able to get by with the support I have of my friends and family,” Stanoffsky said. “This is about making the resort fully accessible to a whole community of people who would not have this opportunity without the project completed.”
