We were not expecting this huge stage and ballroom audience, but it was an honour to start of the Canadian Association for Supported Employment Conference 2026 today at the Westin Ottawa!
They don't have a lot to say because they think the photo says it all (it is now ten years that Shayna as a member of the LiveWorkPlay Community Supports Team) but we did get this quote: "It’s been a fabulous ten years of amazing memories, lots of laughs, and we’re looking forward to many new ones!"

LiveWorkPlay has been contributing to the project since its inception, with Maggie Dimock and Grace Hudson representing the LiveWorkPlay team throughout 2025 and 2026. Congratulations on the launch!
This has been quite a first week since joining The BUSY Group! Kerry Gibb, Chair; Paul Miles, Managing Director; and Stephen Riley, Chief Strategy Officer, joined us online on Tuesday. We couldn't fit the entire LiveWorkPlay staff team on screen, but this moment captures the vibe! Energy level ↗️

On 2 June 2026, Jen Broad was invited to represent LiveWorkPlay in making a special National AccessAbility Week #NAAW2026 presentation to OCOBIA.
Ali Wilcox started her new role today as an Ottawa Safety Council Crossing Guard. With her previous work experience in daycare and school settings, this role was a great match for Ali, who is a natural connector and loves being out in her community.
It's time! The Canadian Association for Supported Employment 2026 conference is underway. The LiveWorkPlay employment team is taking full advantage of the conference being hosted in Ottawa, and is also delivering one of the lead-off presentations today at 2pm!
As we celebrate National AccessAbility Week #NAAW2026, a reminder that accessibility is not only about the physical envrionment, it is also about having opportunities to be welcomed and contribute to community life, develop and pursue new interests, and build friendships.
As LiveWorkPlay continues supporting National AccessAbility Week #NAAW2026, we're pleased to once again celebrate the work of our friends at CASE - Canadian Association for Supported Employment and the Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR).
