On the road with Danni: Good food, great partnerships

In my first six months, I’ve had the opportunity to travel across Canada, connecting with growers, makers, and colleagues — from the orchards of Niagara to the wide-open fields of Saskatchewan to the vibrant markets and seafood producers of Halifax. I’ve walked through farms, toured production facilities, and spent time in our stores.

Jaylynn’s connection beyond words

Jaylynn initially joined Real Canadian Superstore^® through a temporary placement as part of a public-school transition program that supports youth with disabilities entering the workforce. With the guidance of a mentor who used sign language during training, Jaylynn quickly showed dedication, earning a permanent role. Starting in the deli, Jaylynn initially struggled with the fast pace and continuous communication, as she was more accustomed to expressing herself through American Sign Language. But her colleagues adapted. Realizing verbal instructions weren't effective, they shifted to hands-on training.
