At the very first Evening in the Maritimes on May 24, 1995, close to 500 people gathered in the Aberdeen

Pavilion to enjoy a wonderful seafood dinner, modelled after the traditional East Coast lobster suppers, and

were entertained by the Irish Descendants from Newfoundland. From the first event, which raised $4,500,

Evening in the Maritimes has grown into one of Ottawa’s premiere fundraising soirées by remaining true to its

theme: raising funds through an evening of down-east fun, food and entertainment. To date, this formula for

fun(d) raising has raised close to 1.75 million dollars for Citizen Advocacy!

Evening in the Maritimes features a 4-course dinner. Fresh North Atlantic lobster is the star! Steak and

vegetarian alternatives are also available. East Coast entertainment creates the feel of a kitchen party. A silent

auction featuring extravagant jewellery, appliances, artwork, unique gift baskets, travel, golf, and other items

raises funds for Citizen Advocacy. An exclusive balloon raffle, with all balloons popped in unison, sees guests

win items such as $1,000 shopping sprees, trips to Nova Scotia, and hotel stays. Also featured is a live auction

with items such as cross-continental trips and exclusive catered dinners with Ottawa celebrities. Honorary Co-

Chairs Senator Vernon White and David Cork, Director, Scotia McLeod, will welcome guests, on Wednesday

May 23, 2018.

What is Citizen Advocacy?

Citizen Advocacy is a registered charity founded in 1974. We harness the power of the

people of Ottawa to provide hope and support to the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Charitable registration # 13036 2817 RR0001.

What is the “Everyday Champions” program about? Everyday Champions is a unique program that matches volunteer Advocates, people of all walks of life in the community with Friends, those who are living with a disability and may be isolated, lonely and vulnerable with nowhere else to turn for friendship and support. Many of these matches become long-standing, mutually-rewarding relationships that flourish over decades. A great example is the match between Robin and Mike. Robin lives with autism and can’t speak, but the two men communicate with ease. Their usual routine is to go out for lunch and take long walks along the Ottawa River or the Rideau Canal. Mike knows he can’t take away Robin’s challenges but he can offer Robin a short respite and something to look forward to. Robin teaches Mike about acceptance, honesty and overcoming fear.

How many people is the Everyday Champions program supporting?

Over the years, Citizen Advocacy has facilitated thousands of matches with those who live with mental and physical disabilities. Currently, there are 288 matches who come from all walks of life and include all ages of adults.

Here are some vital statistics about Citizen Advocacy clients:

Physical disabilities 24% Mental health Challenges 15 % Developmental disabilities 21 % Age related disabilities 1 % Dual diagnosis and multiple disabilities 39 %

Many others in the community are waiting to be partnered with a community advocate. There are currently

329 people on our waiting list.

Citizen Advocacy operates due to the generosity of the community including various levels of government, business, corporations as well as support from individuals.

Here is our funding breakdown:

United Way 2%

City of Ottawa 3%

Ministry of Community and Social Services 75%.

Foundations & Grants 3%

Fundraising & Donations 17%

The remaining 45% is raised through various fundraising efforts including Evening in the Maritimes, In the Spotlight, Ottawa Race Weekend, and the generosity of donors, third party fundraisers such as golf tournaments and other community events.
