able to progress past the subculture of the streets and with significant help from these
same support groups was able find his first meaningful employment with a company
called Ginger’s Bathrooms in Toronto Ontario. In his twenties, Ken took on a number of
labour related jobs while at the same time earning his Secondary School Graduation

opportunities. Once arriving in Alberta, Ken had found himself still only able to secure a
number of unskilled labour and junior sales type positions. In 1997 Ken began his
employment with Crystal Glass Canada Ltd as a Customer Service Representative. Ken
progressed rapidly thru a number of promotions and increasing levels of management
within the Crystal Glass organization. Ken’s current position is the General Manager of
