Alfredo Paquete, Beacon House Resident
Hi! My name is Alfredo Paquete. I transitioned from Waypoint to Beacon House in January 2017. Living
at Beacon has been great! I am able to be independent in my daily activities such as doing my own

laundry and hygiene, making my bed, and making cof ee. I help the staf with baking, and I enjoy
ce” at Beacon where

helping my housemates and staf with their technology needs. I have my own “of
I can also do my shredding if I want to.
For the year and a half that I have been involved with CLH, I have been able to do tons of fun activities
and I have been able to explore the community, and have secured volunteer placements. Some of the
activities that I’ve been able to take part in are; going to Wonderland during the summer as well as
Halloween Haunt in the fall, playing Laser Tag at Retro Planet, going to Pumpkinferno, Abbamania, Bat
Out of Hell, The Toronto Zoo, Harlem Globetrotters, and countless trips to the Galaxy to see some of
my favorite movies.
I really enjoy my volunteer placements. I get to go to CAPS on Fridays to help in the kitchen, and
I go to do shredding Mondays and Wednesdays at the Olive St. and King St. locations. I also go
swimming at Waypoint twice a week, and participate in Special Olympics Bowling and Curling Leagues
throughout the winter. In the summer I enjoy attending Lawn Bowling and Bocce ball.
Overall, life for me living within Community Living has been awesome. I love being able to explore the
community, meet new people, and socialize with all the friends I have met at CAPS.
