Alan works at a post office sorting plant in Kelowna. He has hearing loss, which made it difficult for him to understand instructions and affected his safety as he was unable to hear all the different moving equipment around him in the busy plant.
We’ve hit a huge milestone — with the help of our volunteers, our community, and our supporters, we’ve built 10,000 assistive devices for people with disabilities.
We are honoured to have been named a finalist for the Not-For-Profit Organization of the Year award for the 24th Annual Burnaby Business Excellence Awards.
