Mayor Jim Watson, with Councillors of the Osgoode and Rideau-Vanier wards, recognized Denise Herbert and the Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain’s dedication to the community at today’s City Council meeting by presenting them with the Mayor’s City Builder Award.
For over 25 years, Denise Herbert has been running the Osgoode Emergency Food Cupboard out of the St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Enniskerry. Every Saturday morning, she opens the door for residents in need of food and support.
Working alongside the local Greely Lions, high schools and elementary schools, Ms. Herbert always ensures there are ample supplies in the food cupboard to meet the needs of the community, which prevents residents from having to travel into the city to access other food cupboards. This includes purchasing food staples to supplement the food cupboard and coordinating food distribution.
The Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain volunteer group was founded in 1969 with the opening of the not-for-profit francophone residence Centre d’accueil Champlain. The group raises funds for residents and provides volunteer hours to help improve residents’ quality of life. The group has created a supportive and familial home for vulnerable residents, adapting to the changing needs of the community, over the last 50 years.
The Association des auxiliaires du Centre d’accueil Champlain raises and donates over $25,000 and volunteers approximately 10,000 hours every year. This year, the group is working to donate $50,000 to celebrate the Centre d’accueil Champlain’s 50th anniversary.
The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour, created to recognize an individual, group or organization that, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements.
Individuals, groups or organizations may be nominated by Members of Council or the public.
