I'm no stranger to multifunctional furniture. I live in a modest townhouse in Squamish, B.C. — arguably one of the most beautiful parts of Canada. I'm extremely grateful for my home, but space isn't what I would call 'plentiful.' Our dining room is also our living room, toddler's playroom and gathering space. With our dining table eight feet from our couch, we need to get crafty when it comes to hosting friends and family. We went years hosting dinner parties with six people crammed around our four-person dining table, while other guests ate meals from their laps on our couch (still the comfiest couch ever).

Backpack loan program for neurodiverse people launched on North Shore
A tourism association on Metro Vancouver's North Shore has started up a program to lend out backpacks containing items to help people, including kids, with neurological conditions access tourist attractions. At an event Tuesday, the North Shore Tourism Association said the neurodivergent sensory backpacks will include items like noise-cancelling headphones, earplugs and sensory toys — as well as maps highlighting tourist attractions which are neurodivergent-friendly. People who are neurodiverse — the broad term used to describe people who have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), are on the autism spectrum or have a disability that affects their ability to focus and keep things in working memory — generally face issues in public areas, according to one mother. Author and blogger Stephanie Rose, whose 12-year-old child Asher is neurodiverse, said that neurological conditions can pose sensory challenges in public areas. She said at the Tuesday event that Asher helped take the backpacks for a test run, and that her son was immediately engaged and attracted to the different spaces they visited — which range from indoor locations like the Museum and Archives of North Vancouver to the region's famed hiking trails. "For me, what was most important was the list of locations that are sensory-friendly — the places where you feel like you can go and not have to dive through the challenges that exist for parents," Rose told CBC News. "It makes you feel like the carpet has been rolled out and that you can be yourself." Jennifer Belak, the executive director of the tourism association, said that the backpack can also feature raincoats or umbrellas to help visitors during the region's long rainy months. "There's lots of attractions and stuff that recognize it, including the Blue Grouse Gondola," she said of the backpack. "And they'll even go as far as giving you your own gondola now, so you can have that quiet space as you go up to the top of the mountain." City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan said the program sent a powerful message that neurodiverse people were welcome in the region. "Whether it's a child with autism visiting a museum for the first time, or an adult seeking a calm experience in our outdoor spaces, this backpack program provides real practical support," she said. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimated in 2019 that one in 50 kids aged 1-17 has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with males being diagnosed approximately four times more frequently than females.
