Neil Squire Career Facilitator, Sandra Grib, recently sat down with Ohdio, CBC Radio-Canada’s French language radio show, to chat about our Hacking for the Holidays fundraising campaign.
While we’ve often highlighted the efforts of our volunteers, today we want to do something a little different — we want to share the great work a couple of Hacking for the Holidays supporters are doing to raise funds to ensure kids with disabilities get the adapted toys they need to play independently.
A successful collaboration between Place aux compétences, École Anna-Malenfant, and our Makers Making Change and Solutions programs resulted in the creation of a simple yet effective 3D-printed adaptation for a Neil Squire client preparing to return to work with pain and limited left arm mobility.
On Tuesday, members of our Burnaby team had a great time touring the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB)’s new permanent facility in Vancouver.
