Meet Jessica,
Build ON Employment Consultant
Hello! My name is Jessica and I am an Employment Consultant for the YMCA-YWCA Build ON program. I grew up with a parent in the Canadian Forces and moved around a lot, but I still consider myself an East coaster! I love my job and my Y family. I was an Information and Referral Specialist at the YMCA-YWCA Newcomer Information Centre before joining the Build ON team. My ultimate enjoyment is to travel and experience different cultures and languages. I strongly believe everyone has an amazing story to tell and I’m looking forward to helping you with yours as you settle in Canada!

Meet Hannah,
Build ON Employment Consultant
Hello/Bonjour! My name is Hannah Vickars and I am a bilingual Employment Consultant for the Build ON program. I grew up around Vancouver, B.C and moved to Ottawa shortly after finishing high school. I miss the mountains and the ocean of the west coast, but Ontario has its own unique beauty! I have a Bachelor’s degree in International Development and experience working with newcomers to Canada, with both youth and their families. I love meeting new people and listening to their stories, and I’m very excited to help you settle in Canada!
