Passion for service delivery at Markets in Hamilton and Bruce Peninsula

I have so much fun volunteering in the Market Circuit on the Bruce Peninsula. Many open air and specialty markets marketing specialty products with respect for Buy Local culture.


Working at the Hamilton Ottawa Street Market has been such a beautiful experience.

My Social Work Skills are applied to Customer Service as I can talk to anyone, make them feel excited about their experience in the simple act of making a special purchase.
