A Burnaby woman has been honoured by a provincial organization for her efforts in the health care sector.
Cathy Baysic was recently awarded by the BC Care Providers Association as its assisted living care provider of the year for her tenure as recreation coordinator for Courtyard Terrace Seniors Community Park Place in Burnaby.
"Cathy makes sure that residents with mobility issues can still come on walks even over rough and steep sidewalk terrain – maneuvering and lifting wheelchairs to get over obstacles instead of turning back and giving up," a news release reads.
"BCCPA commends Cathy for her commitment to inclusion and independence for all residents."
Baysic is set to receive her recognition on Tuesday (Feb. 28) at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria by B.C. Minister of Health Adrian DIx.
"Beyond all these activities, the one thing we have all come to count on and appreciate is Cathy’s open loving heart," a Courtyard Terrace resident added in the release.
"She always tells us, 'I do it all to make you happy. That is the most important thing to me' and we believe her."
