Good morning. My name is Mark Anderson, and I am from London, Ontario. I have a part-time job from Community Living, London, at a small florist shop. I also work at the London Western Fair for two weeks out of the year. It is important to me, because I get to meet new people and make extra money, and because the money I make from the government pension is not enough.
I got help to find a job from Community Living, London, and I'm hoping that someday I can work more than six hours a week or at a different job and maybe have more than one job. I hope there'll be employment services available to help me with these goals when I am ready to take those steps.
I hope you can see by my example that people with disabilities can make a valuable contribution if there are services available to help us.
Thank you.
