TORONTO—It was all Chris Grayson could do to contain himself Friday as the spirited executive director accepted $25,000 in prizes for excellence in social service delivery on behalf of his association.
Community Living Campbellford Brighton won not only their category for which they had been short-listed for – Services For People With Disabilities – but also the overall Donner Canadian Foundation Award for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services. The first award was for $5,000, the latter, $20,000.
“It’s another first for Community Living Campbellford Brighton,” a beaming Chris says after the ceremony. “We’ve been working to these standards for many years,” he says. One of the secrets of success for the association (and part of what judges base their decisions upon) has been to measure a group’s success in going after money from non-government groups. Chris says Community Living Campbellford/Brighton has raised $1.606 million in just over three years, from June 2000 to September 2003. “We need to become less reliant on government,” Chris says. “Now, especially, we’re going to be able to talk to funders like we have never before,” he says, referencing the exposure and the significance of the award they just won.

They are in a familiar place, both Community Living Campbellford and Norfolk Association for Community Living. Today their representatives will be in Queen’s Park, wondering if they will be accepting the prestigious Donner award for Services for People With Disabilities.
Last year, it was Community Living Campbellford accepting the award. In 1999 and 2001, it was Norfolk Association. In fact, Norfolk has been recognized on the shortlist for six consecutive years.
As the winners last year, Nancy Brown of Campbellford Association says they “are excited” as the time approaches. “Obviously, we’re doing something right here,” she adds. Nancy says the association provides quality supports and services and is looking forward to trying to repeat their success of last year.
