Princeton & District Community Services Shines Bright In the Eyes of Many!

WorkBC recognizes PDCSS as The Superstars of Service!!  

WorkBC has been honored to shine a light during the month of September on the employment of Persons with Disabilities.  We are confident that we have highlighted the creativity, compassion, and benefits of cultivating an openness in workplaces for people with diverse abilities.  From the inspiring story of Brion and his work experience at Lonsdale Key Market, to the initiatives of YVR, to the specialty programs of Community Futures for Entrepreneurs.   WorkBC provides support with access to specialized testing to uncover key skills and strengths, to customized employment specialists who bring to connection between the client and the Labour market.  

Here in Princeton our most satisfying highlight has been to honor Princeton & District Community Services Society & Paul G who is one of many kind and eager workers.  Over 40+ years ago, PDCSS committed to championing the value and abilities of these workers.  We began partnering with the Society in early 2019 around employment services, and have enjoyed the relationship we have built and have come to admire their commitment to their mandate.

We end Disability Employment Month with this final commemoration and a Certificate of Leadership.   Pictured above is Gloria Gagnon who is the Employment Program Director, and Becky Vermette who is the Executive Director.  When we arrived on site on Monday to make this presentation, they explained that they originally had Paul also scheduled to receive special recognition, but he was called into work and duty calls!
