Community Voices
Stories of impact from across the Pathways network
I had a lot going on—family issues, struggles with friends, and my own mental health. There were times I wanted to give up, but Pathways never let me.
Pathways is part of my story; I wouldn’t be who I am today without it. I’m proud to call myself a first-generation tradesman, musician, and entrepreneur. I’m breaking all the cycles.
When you look at what we’ve been able to do at Pathways Saskatoon, our students are graduating on time. That’s powerful.
One of my biggest challenges was trying to explain my situation to people who had never been in similar circumstances…being able to vent to someone who truly understood made all the difference.
