Community Living Toronto’s 75th Anniversary Campaign, implemented last year, has been honoured with several prestigious awards within the Nonprofit sector and the Marketing/Advertising industry. These recognitions below awarded by The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) were held on May 9, 2024, for the IABC/Toronto chapter and on June 25, 2024, at the IABC World Conference in Chicago.  

• 2024 OVATION Award of Excellence in the Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Communication category
• 2024 IABC Gold Quill Award of Merit in the Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Communication category
• 2024 IABC Gold Quill Award of Excellence in the Nonprofit Sector Communication category

The campaign theme of “75 Years of Belonging” resonated deeply with the audience and showcased the incredible journey of Community Living Toronto. Our storytellers, who shared their personal experiences and the positive impact that Community Living Toronto has had on their lives brought authenticity and emotional depth to our campaign, touching hearts and inspiring action. 

“This campaign’s success would not have been possible without the support of our staff members as well as the collaborative efforts with our partners at Principles. As we celebrate these achievements, we also want to acknowledge the support and trust from the people we support, their families and friends as well as members from our community.”  

Petronilla Ndebele, Director of Strategic Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Community Living Toronto.
