Hi, I’m Amanda! I work with organizations to support them in planning, launching and scaling social impact programming. My passion for community programs started when I was a young intern at a women’s drop in centre. I quickly fell in love with the sense of belonging that was created in programming and the tangible support provided to women in difficult situations. This experience inspired me to study social work and has led me to a career in planning and delivering social programming for many diverse populations. If you’re here, it’s because you deeply care about the communities you serve. You are an expert in what your community needs. I know you work exceptionally hard and want to see big changes in the world. I’m here to support you in working towards those changes. I’ve had the honour to work with many communities and provide life-altering social programming. I understand what it takes to build meaningful connections, design impactful programs, and navigate complex systems. With extensive experience in program coordination and planning, stakeholder engagement, and front-line community support, I can help you take your program vision and translate it into concrete steps to bring it to reality.

Instead, DAM Reliable has reallocated “new grade A” shipping containers into storage lockers for drive-up self-storage units. All our shipping containers are purchased in new condition.

I started in the appliance repair business as a high school co-op student in 1998. From there I took my studies to the West Coast, obtaining my diploma in Appliance Repair. My love for my hometown brought me back to Kenora and I started a successful career with Maytag. I worked there until the closing of their doors in 2018. That was the push I needed to take the leap and branch out on my own. Since then, I have prided myself on my exceptional work ethic and customer satisfaction. At Kenora Appliance Repair I am passionate about making sure all your appliances are running smoothly, in an efficient, timely manner. Kenora Appliance Repair is Environmentally Conscious Because we handle refrigerants and other substances used in cooling processes, I have made it a point to ensure that my Environment Canada-based Ozone Depletion Prevention Certifications are up-to-date. ​​Daniel Hutchings – Owner-Operator
