Welcome to Jirde's Home Page

 

I (Jirde) was educated in Somalia and Canada. I was the Founder of the Algonquin College Somali Students Association (ACSSA) which is a solely cultural club with the following purposes: to foster friendship among students interested in Somalian culture and to promote cultural exchange between Somalian students at Algonquin College and students from other Provinces in Canada and around the world.

I am currently employed by the City of Ottawa as a Youth Programmer since 1996, I have coached both boys and girls in Basketball and Soccer from ages of 9-20 years old.

I also worked at Algonquin College Athletic Department for approximately 3 years. I was hired as an official referee in Algonquin College recreational leagues and became an asset to their organization.

Algonquin College Athletic Department is a busy facility that relies heavily on the team work of their staff. I am one of their strongest team members and very conscientious, hardworking and reliable leader. My enthusiasm and friendly approach to my responsibilities are reflected in my position and the positive response that I receive from staff and students.

I have also, worked Carlington Community and Health Services as Youth Promotion, I have done many Volunteers with Carling Community and Health Services. In 2000 to 2001 I was member of the board my duties was to develop policies, procedures and regulation for the operation. Also, monitor finance of the organization and its programs and performance.

While working under the Carlington Community and Health Services, I was honour to have the chance to participate a program that was design for conflict resolution which gives an opportunity for 24 kids with 24 cops in two days consultation on conflict resolution in a police/community environment. This was done by Ottawa-Carleton Police. This took place in August 6, 1997 at Algonquin College.
