CLH Foundation

Volunteer Awards

Presented annually, these awards recognize volunteers who have made exceptional contributions
during the year. The two awards were presented this year at the first-ever virtual AGM of CLH
Developmental Support Services, on September 30.

The Joyce Hamelin Volunteer Of The Year Award
This CLH Foundation Award honours a volunteer who goes above and beyond, a person-
centred individual who demonstrates sensitivity to individual differences while also
encouraging feedback and participation. This volunteer is an inspiration to others, trustworthy
and dependable. As well as facilitating greater understanding of people with developmental
support needs, they fulfill the CLH vision that all people live with dignity and respect, and
participate as valued members of the community.

The recipient of the 2020 Joyce Hamelin Volunteer of the Year Award is Cortney Lottermoser,
in recognition of her initiative and leadership of the CLH Sunday Walking Club throughout
the summer and fall of 2019. It was a welcome initiative and made such a positive difference;
supported individuals who participated benefited greatly, not only in meeting their fitness
goals but also in the opportunity to visit with friends and meet new people, too. We are all
looking forward to the return of the Sunday Walking Club at the very first opportunity –
whether that is 2021 or 2022! Congratulations, Cortney.

The Tom Kayser Volunteer Award

The Tom Kayser Volunteer Award honours an individual who volunteers and gives generously
of their time and effort to support CLH Foundation by serving on a committee, helping at
fundraising events, or representing CLH Foundation as a community ambassador.

The recipient of the 2020 Tom Kayser Award is Leanne George. Although Leanne never takes
the spotlight or looks for recognition for her support of CLH, she has been a longtime member
of the Gala fundraising committee, is a loyal donor both personally and through her business,
Fresh Flowers by Leanne, and actively promotes awareness and support of CLH all year
round. It is more than time to honour Leanne for her generosity and her role as a wonderful
community ambassador for CLH Foundation and CLH Developmental Support Services!
Thank you, Leanne.

THIS JUST IN!
