Doug Smith

Doug Smith is one of those guys who just brightens your day. He goes about his business in his quiet, gentle way, not wanting to intrude on other’s conversations, but very much aware of those who are in need of a little encouragement or support. He is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of others and will often reach out with a pat on the back or an offer to help. STEPs on Arthur welcomed Doug into service in 2014, after he relocated to the Truro area. Previously, he attended at Heatherton Activity Center and as the saying goes “their loss is our gain”. He has proven himself to be an integral part of the Contracts Plus program, taking the lead role with the Eastlink contract, taking great pride in this as he prefers to be busy with vocational related duties. In fact, It is a bit of a struggle to engage him in the leisure and recreational activities offered at STEPs, but he is slowly starting to realize that it is OK to take a bit of a break from time to time. Regardless of what he is doing, we appreciate all that he brings to our organization. Thanks Doug!
