COMMUNITY BELONGING AWARD

The Community Belonging Award is given to a business, community organization, or group whose actions support the inclusion and belonging of people with developmental disabilities.

Winner - David Mitton, Leston Holdings

David was nominated for his exemplary efforts in striving to make housing more affordable, accessible and inclusive of people with disabilities receiving support from PDD. Of particular note, this past year David has worked on making 12 suites accessible and affordable to the people we serve in a forthcoming development in Edmonton and is partnering with Skills Society to pilot a new community connecting role, the “Community Concierge” within the building. This innovative service will help people with disabilities we serve to be connected with others in their community and lead to a deeper sense of belonging over time.
