It’s amazing what some people can accomplish while the rest of us are binge-watching all our favourite TV shows.
Individuals, groups and businesses that have given so much of themselves to make our community a better, more caring place were saluted Thursday at the Ottawa chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professional’s 22nd annual Philanthropy Awards, better known as The Phils.
Attendance was up considerably this year as a sold-out crowd of nearly 400 gathered at the Shaw Centre for the event.
Gary Zed, described as one of our city’s most masterful and tireless networkers, was named this year’s Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser for helping to raise big bucks for a wide range of non-profits, including the National Arts Centre Foundation and Boys and Girls Club.
Gary Zed, upon accepting his Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser award, gave a special shout out to Michelle Vallier from his Ernst & Young office at the 22nd Annual AFP Ottawa Philanthropy Awards Dinner, held at the Shaw Centre on Thursday, November 17, 2016.
The room heard how his Lebanese-immigrant grandparents, who established themselves as landlords and grocers, were all about sharing. Zed inherited their philanthropic gene and has passed it on to his own children.
“When a store opened up next door … [my grandmother] would lend them her groceries so that they could be as equally successful,” recalled Zed, EY’s managing partner for Ottawa and tax market leader for Canada. “She realized it was all about a rising tide [lifts all boats], and that everyone in the community was better off.”
Echoing this belief that we function better as a team was public policy advocate David Sweanor, recipient of the Outstanding Individual Philanthropist Award for his efforts to create global change. “We’re on this little rock hurtling through space,” he said. “When is it going to occur to us that we’re really in this together.”
Scotiabank was recognized for its corporate philanthropy while Partners Investing in Parkinson Research (PIPR) was singled out for its philanthropic group contributions.
Alyssa Chow, 14, accepted the youth award on behalf of herself and her university-attending brother Jonathan for their community leadership role, such as fundraising to send more than 30 underprivileged kids to Y summer camp.
Alyssa Chow, who was named this year’s Outstanding Youth with her brother Jonathan, attended the AFP Ottawa Philanthropy Awards Dinner with her father, Ottawa cardiologist Ben Chow, mother Nancy Chow, and grandmother Carol Ann Waterman on Thursday, November 17, 2016.
During his thank-you speech, real estate broker Patrick Morris took a moment to recognize all his fellow small business owners for their selfless, unheralded contributions. He was honoured with the Outstanding Small Business Philanthropist Award for his support of the Dovercourt Recreation Centre and other causes.

This year’s guest speaker was popular news anchor Lucy van Oldenbarneveld, who recently returned to work at CBC Ottawa following her treatment for breast cancer. The gifted storyteller vividly described some of her challenges of growing up in a low-income broken home in the 1970s, in Hamilton. She was fortunate enough to have a “force field” of community protection that gave her access to great opportunities and guidance.

“I think it was my ‘Steeltown’ background that uniquely prepared me for perhaps the biggest challenge in my life,” said van Oldenbarneveld of her July 2015 diagnosis. “Having to be resilient and optimistic and a bit of dreamer when I was young, I knew what to do when the s**t hit the fan, I think.”
She spoke of the “emotional philanthropy” she got from friends, colleagues, breast cancer survivors and complete strangers. Their comfort and kind words helped to lift her spirits and make her feel less alone. “Don’t underestimate the power of reaching out,” she told her audience.
The awards dinner, MCed by Anna-Karina Tabuñar, was chaired by Paula Street, manager of philanthropy with the CHEO Foundation.
