Community Partner TWG
TWG Landscaping and Property Maintenance believes in assisting our community through their involvements with youth programs, sports, sponsorships, and other projects of interest.
As funding becomes increasingly more difficult to meet the growing needs of the community, partners like TWG are essential to PH. Their assistance and donations to help our agency improve the quality of life for the people we support with disabilities truly made a difference.
TWG took on a project in 2009-2010 for Participation House Project at one of our properties in Bowmanville, Ontario. The goal was to provide an attractive wheelchair accessible ramp, while maintaining the non-commercial look at the entrance of the home, in its present community.
Upon reviewing the scope of the project and the costs to complete it, TWG determined our organization to be a good candidate to offer their assistance. The project helped afford the people we support the betterment of community living that fit the location, provided better ease of movement, and a modern, functional entrance for personal access and visitors to use. As one of our families proudly mentioned, "My son is thrilled he can finally come through the front door of his own home". Prior to the ramp being built, wheelchair access was located at the side of the house. Surrounding this new construction is a welcoming landscaped area that will soon be blooming with plants and flowers. Everyone really loves the addition!
On behalf of the residents in Bowmanville, staff and our families, Participation House Project would like to sincerely thank TWG Landscaping and Property Maintenance and the list of suppliers they worked closely with to assist in the project's completion. Your tremendous support is greatly appreciated.
