Welcome Coach Devin, Speech-Language Pathologist

Devin R Bruce: Making the World Better Since 1979

It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you Coach Devin R Bruce: Speech Language Pathologist, singer, citizen, Qi Creative Coach! Making things better since 1979.

A graduate from the University of Alberta with a Masters Science in Speech-Language Pathology, Devin has worked to support children with special needs for over ten years. He is passionate about helping young people communicate, and also coaching and celebrating the people who support and teach those children. Ever since he was a young child, Devin believed in the power of stories: stories are ways for people to share their thoughts and feelings, to make sense of the world around them, and to entertain and delight others. He considers himself privileged to be able to help other people tell their stories as part of the Qi Creative team. When Devin isn’t being an SLP, you can find him performing with his a cappella group Apocalypse Kow, running in the river valley, knitting (in the midst of a movie marathon), brewing beer, baking bread, or sitting with his nose in a book.

“I’m so happy to be back with the team of passionate, creative, brilliant people at Qi Creative. It’s been just over a month since I started with the team and I learn something new from every coach that I shadow and collaborate with. And that goes double for the families I’ve gotten to meet! Whether I’m making breakfast with pretend eggs, climbing on playground equipment designed for people one third my size, or dipping my toes into Live Action Roleplaying (aka LARPing), each day at Qi Creative is an adventure. I even look forward to my time being a coach for the kids at Qi Climbing, a sport that I never in a million years thought that I would be excited to try. I’m so pleased to be able to add my perspective and skills to such a fantastic team, and am looking forward to seeing what my future at Qi Creative holds.”
