Until he came to the Working Together program, Erick had been out of work in his field for over three years and believed that the gap between jobs on his resume and the perception of his disability were keeping him from finding sustainable employment.
It was a fresh perspective that allowed Karen to hire Quyen as a Floral Assistant, in what turned out to be a great opportunity for both employee and employer.
“I’ve had back pain issues for quite a long time. Even though I enjoy working and being active, there are times when I’m just not physically able, and that’s frustrating,” says Adam, who completed the Working Together Program at the Neil Squire Society in 2014. Adam’s goal was to gain a full time position that his back would allow him to work at without incurring much discomfort.
With the help of the Neil Squire Society’s Working Together program, the Cumberland House Market Garden and Farm has won a Regional Centre of Expertise sustainability award, which goes to projects that make Saskatchewan a more sustainable place to live.
