    Infertility Statistics in British Columbia – It’s Time for Accessible Health Care #IVF4BC

    April 17, 2017 /

    Infertility statistics in British Columbia might surprise you. They might shock you. They should be repeated and shared and talked about. 1 in 6 Families in BC struggle with infertility. That means you know someone in your circle that has infertility, or has been through infertility. Maybe they shared their story with you. Maybe they struggled quietly.   This upcoming May British Columbia marks two important events. The provincial election occurs May 9th, and the lead up weeks are a time to inquire where the parties stand on IVF funding. When the politicians running for office in your riding come to your door, ask them where they stand on public funding for…

    Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel in Richmond, BC

    April 4, 2017 /

    That’s right you read the title correctly. The Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel is in Richmond, BC. It’s a quirky thing that several Richmond hotels are not identified as hotels in Richmond, BC. Such is the case here with this lovely hotel stationed about a 10 minute drive from the Vancouver Airport. The Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel in Richmond is the best of both worlds. How is the Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel the best of both worlds? Well, let me explain. It is close enough to the Vancouver Airport to make travel simple and convenient. A complimentary airport shuttle will take you back and forth from this busting international airport. Just look…

    Visit Richmond, BC and Your Taste Buds Will Thank You #IFWTWA #RichmondMoments

    March 28, 2017 /

    Visit Richmond, BC, and your taste buds will thank you. This bustling city has so much going for it. Richmond is known for its beautiful waterfront, gorgeous sunsets, and vibrant city. It is the fourth largest city in British Columbia. It’s bustling with people enjoying everything from the arts to shipyards, but for me the biggest asset here is the memorable Asian culture, and food experience. Whether you are planning a trip near Vancouver, in BC, Canada, or visiting Richmond on its own, you will remember this city. Visit Richmond, BC and Find Something for Everyone Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, pop culture fan, or a foodie, Richmond has something for everyone. This eclectic…

    Building Healthy Families Should Be A British Columbia Health Care Priority #IVF4BC

    February 12, 2017 /

    Building healthy families should be a British Columbia Health Care Priority every day of the year. This Family Day, patient advocates in BC are calling on the government to fund IVF treatment. And with good reason. BC infertility patients are currently in the minority in Canada. With four provinces funding IVF in Canada, BC patients are being left out. 1 in 6 couples in BC struggle wth infertility. Often the most effective treatment prescribed for infertility is In Vitro Fertilization. However, the cost of fertility treatments and the lack of access in numerous regions in B.C. prevent many British Columbians from growing their family. Lack of Funding Creates Difficult Choices That…

    It’s Time to RSVP For The #ParkbridgeLife Twitter Party April 15 at 8 p.m. EST #travel

    April 10, 2015 /

    It was a rainy afternoon in August and our second day at Parkbridge Resorts, Lakes of Wasaga. We were there for three nights as guests. The kids had a friend with them and I was wrestling with the urge to tell them all to get off their Nintendos when I heard my youngest daughter holler: “There’s something over there by the lake.” All three children threw their sandals on and they ambled towards the lake. That weekend we had already spied dozens of groundhogs, we’d been swimming multiple times, made our own fishing poles of twine and branches, spied many fish, played some board games, been mini golfing and picked…

    Crowdfunding A Baby: How One BC Couple Paid for Fertility Treatments #ivf4bc #bcpoli

    (This post about crowdfunding a baby was originally published in 2013. It has been UPDATED with 2016 information) You’ve heard of crowdfunding a new product. And crowdfunding to launch a concept like a new app, or the perfect Canadian winter coat. How about crowdfunding a baby? When expensive fertility treatments are necessary and they aren’t covered sometimes you have to get extremely resourceful.   Remember Nick? You might have read of his creative approach to fertility funding earlier this year when he spoke to the Vancouver Sun about crowd funding health care treatment. Nick Beaulieu and his wife were running out of options when he decided to ask friends, family…
