Behind every strong organization are people who care deeply about their community.

Candis Garant’s story is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to begin again.

In her Out of the Ashes Bursary feature, Candis shares how reconnecting with her culture, returning to school, and travelling to Taiwan helped her see herself and the world in new ways. Her journey reflects the power of learning, reflection, and meaningful support.

The Out of the Ashes Bursary supports individuals in recovery as they pursue education and build a path forward.

The bursary began in 2007 as a prevention initiative by Leann Kopytko, a youth counsellor with Day One Society, and her late husband Ron Kopytko, who shared her passion for helping youth. Since the first bursary was awarded in 2008, recipients have gone on to build meaningful careers in social work, nursing, IT, law, social justice, and many other fields.

Applications for the 2026 Out of the Ashes Bursary are currently open and will be accepted until June 30, 2026.

At Day One Society, we believe that access to education, support, and opportunity can make a meaningful difference in someone’s recovery journey.

We invite you to read Rudy Braun’s story and learn how the Out of the Ashes Bursary helped him pursue education, build stability, and move forward with a renewed sense of direction and purpose. As Rudy shares, “So take the step. Not because it is easy, and not because success is guaranteed, but because the effort itself matters.”

We appreciate Rudy for sharing his experience so openly and thoughtfully, and we hope his story encourages others who may be considering taking that next step.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Janet and Spencer Bryson of the Stollery Charitable Foundation for their generous support of Day One Society.

Through their grant, we were able to repave our parking lot, which had been in need of repair for many years. The improvements have made a meaningful difference to the space and to everyone who accesses our services each day.

We are truly grateful for their generosity and continued support of the work happening at Day One Society.

What’s your top reason for choosing to work in detox?

“It’s an area I’m genuinely interested in. The work is unique, the nursing is largely autonomous, and most clients truly appreciate what staff do for them. It’s also one of the easiest places to make a meaningful difference.”

At Day One Society, those are the kinds of reflections we hear from our team every day.
This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to be part of something impactful. To support individuals at a critical moment in their journey. To work in a clinical environment that values both independence and collaboration.

We’re currently recruiting nursing staff who are looking for purpose-driven work in a supportive and compassionate setting.

If you’re ready to make a difference, connect with Siân at [email protected] to learn more.
