Paige explores how we live in a society that is so hung up on differences, that society strives to ‘fit in’. She discusses that ‘where do I fit’ feeling and provides a new look on what we generally view as disadvantages through her experiences with the public housing community and Progress in the Park. 


Paige is a passionate community developer and aspiring social entrepreneur. She has been recognized for her leadership of a new provincial, non-profit organization called the Communities in Progress Association (CIPA), and Progress in the Park, an initiative that fights the stigma and scarcity of opportunities related to marginalized communities.
