Tristan has found his entrepreneurial spirit through his love of art. He is a creative artist who has designed greeting cards for the Breton Ability Charitable Foundation and sold his artwork at Breton Ability. This summer, he took part in a couple of local markets, including the Vendor Village at Wi’kipaltimk 2025, where he sold out of all his art pieces!

Tristan’s creativity and hard work remind us how much people can achieve when they get the chance to share their talents.

We’re proud to celebrate Tristan’s success this October during Disability Employment Awareness Month.
