I wish more people understood learning disabilities and mental illness. It's not easy to live with one (or more) and it's an accomplishment to live a semblance of a normal life. I am so happy for you and your brother.

At first I thought, "Wow, how did they manage to find ALL people with British accents in Cornwall, Ontario?" Haha. This is SO sweet, Dave. He has such a bounce in his step and is so into what he's doing. I love it : )

Very inspiring, I agree with Shel that this is a feather in the cap for Cornwall to help provide an opportunity for an individual like Simon to shine. You must be super proud!

Dave, Very nice... I'm glad that you have let us in on your personal life today... I don't even know your brother, but I am proud of him.

Best video of 2010. 'Nuff said, mate. :)

I echo what everyone else has said about your brother, Dave, but also want to offer kudos to Cornwall for offering a program that lets people like Simon shine. Too often, token efforts are made but those with such disabilities are swept under the rug. It's a great example of how government can (and should) play a role in ensuring everybody gets to share a piece of the dream.

You both have one thing in common: when Simon said, "I enjoy it very much. I don't leave." Sounds like someone else I know. :) Thanks for sharing, Dave.

Social media stardom runs in the family...

Dave, I watched the video with my 3-year old son and he thought Simon was super cool to be able to work on buses. If you want please share that with Simon. It was a great video. People with learning disabilities deserve opportunities because they can be productive members of society and teach us a lot. Thank you for sharing and that's nothing wrong with being a proud brother!

Thanks for sharing Dave!

Props to Simon; he's a role model for "enjoy what you do, smile while you do it and do it well". A real accomplishment; if he was my brother I would be proud too.

Simon rocks Dave! If everyone had his work ethic and enthusiasm, the world would be a much more efficient & nicer place. Cornwall Council seems like a fabulous resource. Thanks for sharing that - it really brightened my day. -L

That was brilliant - inspiring, no less.

You have every right to be proud of a brother like that. What a genuinely good person he is! Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

Your brother is a Rock Star. Congrats Simon, nothing like finding a job you love!

Dave - thanks so much for sharing this. As someone who also has a younger brother with learning disabilities, I know first-hand the struggles they face in both their personal and professional lives. Luckily, my brother got a fresh start in Edmonton earlier this year and he's finally happy. So happy for your brother - it's great to see him doing something he loves! Best wishes to you both.

So great. Thank-you for sharing this Dave

This is very touching. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes to you and your family.

Thanks Kelly! Good for him indeed - he's doing well for himself.

well done. I like how it ends with the guy saying they have to ask them to take breaks. Thanks for sharing this Dave.

Great video! thanks for sharing this -

Great story, super brother (you, and Simon!). Thanks for sharing, Dave. ~martha watt
