“I began my journey with Canopy working as an Instructor Therapist and just started my most recent role as a Behaviour Consultant as I work towards obtaining my BCaBA designation.
I love how personable the work environment is here not only for my connection with my colleagues but the nature of our individualized approach to service as well. I truly love working in a 1:1 setting with the children and youth I am fortunate to get to know. We are such an interconnected team and that’s where our success comes from!
What keeps me motivated in my work and excited for each day is getting to celebrate those little wins! Progress for our service users is so inspiring for me and it’s what most excites me about my work at Canopy!”

GroupHEALTH Benefit and Wellness Solutions
We take pride in the Employee Benefit programs to provide both employees and their dependents which contributes to their overall health & wellness. Group benefits are a valuable part of an employee’s overall compensation package including Medical, Dental, Vision, Paramedical Coverage and Employee Assistance Plan. We recently added a Health Spending account to our long list of added offerings!
Comprehensive Benefits
Starting from your first day as a full-time permanent employee, you will be enrolled in an OPTrust Select Employer Matched Defined Pension Plan. Canopy Support Services chose to offer a Defined Benefit Pension plan to our employees because of the advantages it offers. When you retire, the pension amount you receive will be based on your pensionable pay as well as the amount of service you earn. Costs associated with investing and administering a defined benefit plan are shared among all members which results in lower fees and lower risk than alternative plans.
