I applied to BC Housing on the recommendation of a friend. From very early days, I realized the importance of BC Housing's work. My mantra has become: we are all one accident, illness or injury away from losing our lives as we know them – and those are the people that we help. Since coming on board in 1990, I have been supported and encouraged to be creative in how my team and I address challenges and enhance our services. BC Housing is focused and driven, and knows how to get things done.
We are diverse, committed and passionate individuals who come together for a unified goal: to make a positive difference in people’s lives and communities.
For me, the best thing about being a resident building manager is the variety of tasks I do daily and the different people I meet. There are no two days that are the same. From solving building maintenance problems to doing computer work and dealing with tenant issues, I never get bored with my job.
There is satisfaction in knowing the job I'm doing is making a difference and improving the lives of our tenants. Our tenants may be elderly, young families with children or single adults who, without our housing, may be at risk of homelessness. In my personal life, when I'm asked where I work, I always feel a sense of pride in being able to say, “I work for BC Housing.”
