Genevieve Baskerville has spent the past three years brightening the Airdrie Alberta Supports Office with her unwavering kindness and dedication.
As a career and employment consultant, Baskerville provides vulnerable Albertans with practical guidance and a listening ear, helping them navigate challenging times with compassion and understanding.
“Her kindness and person-centred approach make the office a better place for vulnerable Albertans to express their needs,” says nominator Robbi Fender. “We are so lucky to work with Gen; she makes us all better.”
Baskerville credits her motivation to her beliefs and role models.
“Giving back is important to me because being kind and helping others is a core value of mine,” she says. “Seeing small gestures brighten someone’s day, even just a little, keeps me motivated to continue finding ways to support my clients.”
Baskerville also collaborates with local agencies through initiatives like the Airdrie Extreme Weather Action Collective, ensuring those in need receive essential support during cold-weather events.
“I want to continue collaborating with the supportive community agencies within Airdrie to provide the best care for people in need,” she says.
Baskerville’s vision for the future is simple, yet powerful: Continue making meaningful connections and helping people in Airdrie thrive.
