May is a time to appreciate all of the wonderful people who make GEF a welcoming and enriching community for all! Staff Appreciation Week (May 25 to 31) and National Volunteer Week (April 27 to May 3) are opportunities to celebrate our 500+ staff and 150 volunteers. Together, they support our mission to provide affordable, well-maintained, and secure buildings, where our clients can live with dignity and thrive in their communities.
Our staff and volunteers have a shared dedication to uplifting seniors and fostering a supportive, respectful community.
Celebrate the Journey
We are on a journey to create vibrant, affordable communities for seniors. Each step we’ve taken, every challenge we’ve overcome, and all the successes we’ve achieved have been possible because of the energy and creativity of our volunteers and the dedication, hard work, and passion of our staff. Together, they deliver quality services and create meaningful connections that strengthen our communities.
Beyond responsibilities, our teams’ commitment to small gestures – from positive affirmations to meaningful connections – creates a lasting impact.
Living Our Values
Through the remarkable contributions they make to our collective journey, staff and volunteers demonstrate our values:
- Put people at the centre of everything we do
- Show respect and kindness in every interaction
- Foster equity, diversity, and inclusion
- Be accountable and responsible
- Uphold trust, integrity and fairness
Their commitment to quality experiences and well-being is reflected in positive resident feedback and the strong connections formed.
Through dedication and teamwork, they ensure a positive resident experience, where tenants feel heard, valued, and actively engaged.
