hen Diego and Rosa Soto moved from Chile to Toronto in 1976, they were determined to make a great life for themselves in Canada. They found work at a bottle manufacturer in Toronto and transferred to Calgary in 1982 but when the recession swept through Calgary, Diego found himself unemployed. He found work with the City of Calgary parks department, but a chance encounter introduced him to his life’s work. A Chilean friend asked Diego to translate for him at a job interview and when he heard that the employer needed two people to clean on the weekends at Hillhurst Sunnyside community centre, Diego agreed to fill the other position.
