Making an Even Bigger Difference
To celebrate Odlum Brown’s 100th anniversary, we invited clients and friends to help us make an even bigger difference by nominating organizations that they saw making a meaningful impact in their communities.
At our Annual Address earlier this month, President and CEO Debra Doucette announced the four recipient organizations, each of which has received a special donation of $5,000 from Odlum Brown in honour of our 100th anniversary. We are proud to showcase these wonderful organizations and their important work:
InspireHealth is a non-profit organization that offers empowering and crucial support for those affected by cancer. Their support covers a multitude of areas including stress and mental health counselling, managing treatment side-effects, nutrition support, exercise therapy for better recovery, improving sleep and energy, and managing work, life and relationships.
The Cheakamus Foundation for Environmental Learning is dedicated to the support of nature-based learning at Cheakamus Centre. Cheakamus Centre is an overnight field school that offers inspiring educational programs to encourage environmental curiosity, learning and stewardship. Their learning community understands the value of outdoor environmental learning in increasing engagement, improving social-emotional competencies including self-regulation and resiliency, and enhancing students’ understanding of and appreciation for the natural world.
Soap for Hope Canada is a non-profit organization with the mission of changing lives by providing hope and dignity through hygiene. They collect and repurpose hotel hygiene products, linens and lost and found items which would otherwise end up in landfills, transforming the discarded products and distributing them at no cost to people in need.
Take a Hike empowers youth with intentional, continuous clinical counselling, outdoor experiential learning and community. They provide youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships and achieve success – however they define it.
Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations. We are incredibly grateful to have clients who share our commitment to supporting the communities where we live and work, and to be able to celebrate our 100th anniversary by making an even bigger difference!
