Dennis Sato

Proudly Serving: Safeway #4976 Vancouver, BC

Position: Cashier/Bakery/File/Candy

Core Value: Proudly Serve Our Communities

Dennis knows the value of hard work and the importance of giving back to the community and he works every day to instil those values in his children. “I want to show them that you can’t just take. There’s always someone they can help.” With a passion for hockey, Dennis became a minor hockey coach but quickly saw the need to offer more. He joined the executive, helped out with tournaments and fundraising and was eventually asked to manage part of the regional league. Getting involved with volunteering has been good for both Dennis and the players. “It was an opportunity when my son was playing to not only help my son but help all the other kids and help families,” says Dennis, who worked most of his career at Safeway #138. “I just like to be in that environment watching kids have fun, teaching them how to play, watching them have success and just improving and developing and growing. It gives me satisfaction to think that I’ve had a little part in making some kid’s life a little better.”
