Providing meaningful opportunities for community inclusion

Fortis

At Fortis, we’re really committed to creating an inclusive environment. We want everyone to feel respected with a real sense of belonging. We want people to come to work and feel like they belong to a larger family. We truly appreciate that each person has a unique experience, perspectives, and we value what those things bring to our organization.

When you first learn about your child’s disability you don’t know what to do. It’s all so overwhelming… until the helpers come. For the past 13 years, Chrysalis has been there for our family. They’ve provided a meaningful community where our son can belong, create, play, and work. When Edward was born, we thought everything depended on us. We had no idea that the world was filled with so many thoughtful, committed, and compassionate souls—and that Chrysalis had hired so many of them.

Chrysalis is the first employer I've worked for since emigrating to Canada. I love working here. I enjoy talking with other staff members and People Accessing Service. Everybody is friendly and open. We come from a wide range of countries and backgrounds and it's fascinating getting to know each other. Respect and kindness are all at the heart of Chrysalis.

I was first employed at Chrysalis as an Art Specialist in 2020. It was a difficult time for everyone during Covid, but we rose to the challenge and brought art to people’s homes by delivering art kits and going online to facilitate workshops.

Being part of a team that works hard to bring joy and meaning to the lives of others has been an invaluable journey for me. I am grateful for the experiences I’ve had and the people I've grown fond of.

My time as a Director on the Foundation Board at Chrysalis has been incredible. Working with an organization that supports, empowers and is consistently transforming the quality of life for people who access service is something beautiful and special to be a part of.
