What's the relevance of the fact that the school that his daughters are "thinking" of attending has a french immersion program? i'm dropping it. sh

Norwegian or Danish descent?

I thought he was of Danish descent....where is the source that says he's of Norwegian descent? There's nothing in the article...just in the categoriesSkookum1 (talk) 13:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC) he was also the best wheel chair marathoner in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.101.200.237 (talk) 20:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

More sources and more neutrality

This article is decent, but it borrows way too heavily from the one reference cited, and reads somewhat like a press release; there's a lot of emphasis on his accomplishments and honorary degrees, but not really much in the way of background details. The list of awards can probably go, while the bio section should probably be expanded. This article has real potential, but it's not there yet.--Aervanath (talk) 11:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Man in Motion

shouldn't "Man in Motion" have its own article? 76.66.194.4 (talk) 03:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Awards and Honours

I'm not sure if I managed to get my explanation saved in the revision history, but the fact that Hansen received an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Alberta in November 2011 has been added, and that he received his UBC honorary degree in 1987 (previously, there was no year mentioned).

Removed info?

What is up with this edit, and the ones following it? Makes it sound like a fluff piece and violation of WP:NPOV. —Preceding undated comment added 10:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Add segestion

i think that there should be a section just devoted to only his struggles i case people are just looking for struggles he had to overcome — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:68DF:FC35:B9E9:EAEF:9165:3A5C (talk) 21:01, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

The Rick Hansen Foundation section is not even close to WP:NPOV

Almost the entire section is full of fluff words and marketing jargon. 207.194.2.34 (talk) 17:25, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Rick Hansen isn't the CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation

According to the official Rick Hansen Website, Rick Hansen is the Founder of the Rick Hansen Foundation, not the CEO. The CEO is Doramy Ehling. I don't know how to properly edit a Wikipedia page, or if the website is incorrect, so I'm putting this here in the hopes that someone who knows more than I do can fix it. 24.72.16.118 (talk) 21:18, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
