Community Living Atikokan
Community Living Atikokan is a community based organization dedicated to promoting the acceptance and value of all persons.
Please join us in congratulating the 2025 Community Living Atikokan Staff Excellence Award recipient - Debbie Wiersema!
The award is presented at our annual staff appreciation dinner, however Debbie was not in attendance because she requested to be scheduled to work so her co-workers could attend and enjoy the evening! Debbie is self-less, compassionate and encompasses what a team player truly is!
We presented Debbie with the award at a staff meeting last week where she was celebrated by her peers!
Congratulations Debbie👏🎉😊

Some of those waiting have shared their stories with us — stories of frustration, fear, and an unsettling question: “What’s next?” Their voices need answers, and their experiences demand action.
