“We were able to do different assessments and see what he was really good at and what he enjoyed.
“His face lit up of talking about the BC Lions and about sports and I was like, ‘Okay, that’s where we’re going!’ Volunteering with the BC Lions his confidence just really increased.
He was dreaming more and he was like, ‘Wow, if I can be with the BC Lions, then I can do anything! I can get a paid job.’
“I was able to see his cleaning abilities and how precise he was and how organized he was. He’s very routine, very structured.
He did a work experience with Dexterra so we were able to translate that into paid work at the Lonsdale Quay.
