Nadine Ghadie was part of a group of Finance Canada officials that were assigned to monitor what is known as "Budget Lockup." This is a critical aspect of the formal process by which the Federal Budget is released to Members of Parliament and other stakeholders who are a part of the lockup.
Nadine and her colleagues Jessica and Talia from Finance Canada were assigned to the Green Party. Nadine was responsible for delivering oficial copies of the budget to the room and watching over participants to make sure nobody left with a copy, or had access to their phone while they were looking at the budget, until the lockup embargo was lifted (after the Minister of Finance tabled the document publicly).
This is just another step in the amazing journey of Nadine's career in the federal public service, and LiveWorkPlay is beyond thrilled to see the ongoing progress. One of our core principles at LiveWorkPlay is to support Authentic Valued Roles for people with intellectual disabilities and autistic persons, in all aspects of life. With Finance Canada and Nadine Ghadie, there is zero doubt that her work is authentic, valued, and evolving!
Jen Broad is off and running as the newest

Our first direct and in-person meeting with @WCGServices the new and first ever System Services Manager for employment in Ottawa and area. We'll be working closely with them over the next 8 months, the transition period as ODSP employment supports comes to an end. More to come!
This is our TENTH ANNIVERSARY as organization members of Rotary Club Of West Ottawa! Members of the LiveWorkPlay team take turns serving, but first must pass the individual process of being welcomed as an @RCWO member. Jennifer Broad from the employment team is now an official!
We would like to thank Greg Bryant, Lila Turenne, Jerome Europa and the rest of the @ParksCanada team who invited LiveWorkPlay to their gathering in Ottawa to talk about the recruitment and retention of employees with disabilities! #inclusion#employment
Incredible hour for the Federal Employment Strategy Group; one of the busiest times of year for federal public servants (budget season!) but more than 60 found a way, and the ambitious agenda welcomed all 11 speakers in just 1 hour! Shout out to @InclusionNS and @GatewayAssocAB
