Happy New Year!
We hope you are all keeping safe, warm, and healthy!
As part of our ongoing District Training Assemblies, we invite you to join us on Monday, January 17 at 7 pm (via Zoom) for a special one hour focusing on Vocational Service. Our guest speaker for this event is Mark Wafer. Mark Wafer is a Rotarian with the Collingwood South Georgian Bay Club. His partner, Valarie, is Rotary International Director for Zones 28/32.
Mark is well placed to speak about Vocational Service. Until recently he was the owner of six highly successful Tim Hortons locations in Toronto. During his 25 years in the business Mark employed over 200 workers with disabilities in all areas of the operation including senior management. At any given time approximately 17% of his workforce identified as having a disability.
Mark is an internationally recognized expert on the economics of inclusion. He is an advisor to governments around the world and is responsible for Canada's national disability employment strategy.
Mark has received many awards and recognition for his work most notably from her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. He was inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame in 2014.
