Mohammed Al-Salem, Manager of Community Benefits and Community Relations, exemplifies our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we work and live in. In addition to his role at EllisDon, Mohammed serves as the Executive Director of his non-profit, Play Forever, tirelessly and eagerly working to uplift communities.

At EllisDon, we believe in creating long-lasting positive impacts extending beyond the projects we build. Our partnership with Play Forever is a testament to this commitment, helping us better assist those in need in our communities.

Under Mohammed's leadership, our partnership initiatives have expanded significantly. We collaborate with youth and various community members in the areas we build, providing employment opportunities, recreational programming, and more.

Current programs spearheaded by EllisDon and Play Forever include S.T.E.A.R, a comprehensive program offering support and resources to the community; the Thrive Youth Program in York Region, aimed at empowering young individuals through sports and personal development; and community projects in Keswick, Ontario, focused on enhancing local community engagement and opportunities.

These initiatives offer free sports activities and feature guest speakers who discuss career exploration in the trades, providing valuable insights and inspiration.

Together, EllisDon and Play Forever are building stronger, more vibrant communities, one project at a time.
