STAFF SPOTLIGHT
As our members come and go from our centre, our team are always working hard to make your experience at the centre the best it can be, and many of you have likely met or talked to them, but may have not had the chance to properly meet them! For the next while, we will be picking one of our wonderful team members to introduce to our community each month.
Kicking off April, we’d like to introduce our Outreach Navigator, Gaby!
Gaby – Outreach Support Worker
What is your role and a typical day?
Throughout my time in the organization, I have had multiple roles. My most recent role has been as an Outreach Navigator, previously titled Outreach Support Worker, and I provide information and support to community members in need of extra help. The Outreach Navigator has extensive knowledge of resources and programs, and a disposition to support. A typical day at work can vary, but it usually starts with a call, a visit, or an email from someone in need of an extra hand.
How long have you been with WESeniors?
June 2026 marks my fifth year working for WESeniors. It has been an amazing journey!
What music plays in your car?
Regularly nothing. I like the quietness of a car when driving. From time to time, I connect my iPod to listen to Radio Futura.
What part of your work do you enjoy most?
Engaging with people in the WE Seniors community.
What are you most proud of?
I am very proud of the WESeniors project, because WESeniors is not only a recreation facility: It’s a concept, a destination, a way of living.
What is something people might be surprised to learn about your position?
To reach out takes only a call.
Hobbies or interests outside of work?
The nature of things is one of my biggest interests. Exploring the intricacies of existence is fascinating.
I also swim, bake, knit, and appreciate good meals, books, jams, TV shows, or movies.
What have you learned from seniors?
My list is extended. But if I have to mention one, live life the best you can with what you have has been the most significant lesson I learned from the WE Seniors community.
If you could master a new skill?
The skill of mastering any skill whenever I want!
Favorite song or book?
Book: Lessons for Living by Phill Stutz.
Pickleball vs members?
I would have fun (while winning).
