Lidia works as a host at a stadium, and her duties include ticket scanning, helping patrons find their seats, and resolving any issues they may have. She also has genetic hearing loss, which makes it difficult to hear patrons, as well as important safety and operational information during meetings.
Having joined Neil Squire initially as a co-op student in 2012, Milad eventually became one of the first staff members of our Makers Making Change program. A user of assistive technology himself, Milad was passionate about designing assistive technology that could empower others with disabilities — he combined his skills as a systems engineer with his own lived experience with disability.
Mandy works as an Administration Manager. She has hearing loss in both ears, but more severe in the left ear, making her job more difficult.
Amy is currently working part-time, while taking online courses in marketing, social media, and videography. “In early 2025, I suffered an L5-S1 herniated disk injury that took me out for a long time. I ran my own dog grooming business which I had to close down due to this injury. I needed to learn new skills that weren’t so physically demanding,” she shares.
Recently, students in the STEM program at Templeton Secondary School in Vancouver got a crash course on all things making assistive technology.
Neil Squire respectfully acknowledges that we do our work on the traditional and ancestral territories of Indigenous Peoples who are stewards of these lands, colonially known as Canada, since time immemorial. Indigenous lands across Canada are either self-governed by First Nations under modern treaty, unceded and surrendered territories, or traditional territories from which they have been displaced. We are grateful to be living and working on this land.
Our physical head office is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the territories of the Kwikwetlem, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
