Summer Buzz At LiveWorkPlay

It’s been a long hot summer supporting our members to enjoy all the recreation and social opportunities of the season, and we’ve also developed some amazing outcomes in summer employment.

We realize that no one wants to read a long newsletter in the middle of August so please visit our Facebook page for additional photos and stories – just like this great shot of Shelby who is excelling with his ongoing employment at Tim Hortons, or these moments below that feature some of our members working at Lansdowne!
