In celebration of BC Disability Employment Month, our Penticton office at the Footprints Centre, a partnership between Neil Squire and the Penticton Indian Band (new window), hosted an open house and service provider meeting on Wednesday, September 17th.

As part of the festivities, we recognized Grizzly Springs Water (new window) owners Mike and Cassandra Ford for their inclusive hiring practices.

Penticton Indian Band youth staff also brought 14 youth from the leadership program and watched a disability-related documentary after the open house.
