LJK Green gives back to the community at Christmas
Every year, with the assistance of Diane Elgersma, the LJK 2002 AA Green team adopts a family to help assist in making Christmas a bit less stressful for the family.  

This year the team adopted a family that had recently arrived from Syria.

With lists in hand the team set out in early December to help make their first Christmas in Canada not only a peaceful one but a memorable one.

The gifts were recently delivered and needless to say the kids were very happy.

Yogability
ogability offers private, adapted yoga classes for everyone, regardless of cognitive, physical, or emotional challenges. I work closely with each client's rehabilitation team and insurance provider, tailoring each yoga session to best meet every client's unique needs. As an occupational therapist for nearly 20 years, my role has been to help people learn how to perform their daily activities again, following illness or disability. I specialize in helping my clients learn new ways to do the activities they need-- and love-- to do for themselves. I have experience treating people with a variety of challenges, such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, autism, cerebral palsy, cancer, ALS, chronic pain, and orthopaedic issues. I've also been practicing yoga since 2002. At first it was in fits and starts. Back then, I was frustrated because I never moved gracefully like my instructors. I wasn't lithe like they were, and I certainly I couldn't bend like them. I was so uncoordinated that I somehow managed to fall on my neck in the middle of a class. But eventually I started to let go of the image of what I thought I "should" be able to do in yoga, and instead learned to modify my practice in ways that respect what my body can do. Once I did this, everything seemed to click into place, and I fell in love with the sense of calm focus that I experienced through yoga. Three years ago, I became a 300-hour level yoga instructor. Now, I combine my experience as an occupational therapist with with my passion for yoga, using modified techniques to help everyone, regardless of ability, enjoy the benefits of practice. I've taught yoga to people in wheelchairs, who use walkers, who have vestibular challenges that make them dizzy and nauseous with minimal movement. Anyone can practice yoga, but many people need to adapt yoga to make it work for them. I use my skills as an OT to show people how this is done.
Innovative Security Management (1998) Inc. (ISM Security) Personal / Professional / Approachable
Security has never been in as much demand as it is today. When Gordon Fisher (founder, CEO) first opened his doors for business in 1998 the world seemed, in retrospect, a much more innocent place for people to live, work, and play. Gord's initial vision for the security firm was (and still is) to fulfill his clients' needs for timely, reliable, and cost-effective security above all other competitors.
