This #WeBelongWR story and video comes to us from Bridges to Belonging. "I like doing my job, I'm really proud of the work I do there. But I wasn't feeling connected to my community. With the help of my facilitator, now I'm doing more things in my community." - Greg Greg is a charming young man who participated in the Independent Facilitation Demonstration Project. Dedicated and hard-working, he has worked on a farm for four years. Through work with his Independent Facilitato...r, he has developed a strong network around him who supports him in his community life - including exercising, attending events and sports games, joining a social club, and of course, Timmies! Greg is an asset to his community and a friend to all those who meet him. Thanks for sharing your story, Greg, and thanks to Commons Studio for capturing it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_oMgatTIw0
