Edon Trevizan

Proudly Serving: Sobeys Urban Fresh #4743, Toronto, ON

Position: Assistant Store Manager

Core Value: Proudly Serving Our Communities

As an immigrant who came to Canada alone, Edon Trevizan appreciates the family he has at Sobeys, and loves working his way up at a brand new store. “It’s a really nice store, everything new, and a new concept in this area. Everybody is so happy we’re open,” he said. Because he appreciates his new life, he’s very happy to give back. “Edon has organized co-op student placements and even took a course in sign language to communicate with customers,” wrote his manager in his Value Champion nomination letter. Edon has also organized many charitable events including a National Pet Day fundraiser and a Sick Kids raffl e, often on his own time. But it’s the food bank drives that are truly meaningful for him. “I love helping … it’s a really good way to give back to the community, and it’s really close to my heart. I’m from a country where people sometimes struggle for food,” he said. “At Christmas and Thanksgiving we share food with people who don’t have anything.”
