For eight-year-old Emmett, one of his favourite parts of attending his first camp at Camp Jean Nelson in Water Valley, Alberta in May was a Makers Making Change device build, where he got hands-on experience making Light Touch Switches and Raindrop Switches that will go to people with disabilities.
Thanks to Co-op Refinery Complex’s Emergency Response Team’s engagement and hard work, interactive toys, switches, and battery interrupters have been delivered to the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.
Volunteers from the Workplace Essential Skills (WES) Pre-Apprenticeship Carpentry Program, from Kingsclear and Oromocto First Nations, New Brunswick, raised money and adapted toys for children at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.
“I strongly believe cost should never be a barrier to anyone who needs AT. Our Edmonton MMC chapter hopes to raise awareness of AT needs and enhance the quality of life for people living with disabilities every day.”
