Cathy Dickson -
Recipient of the OCDSB Chair’s Award
The Excellence in Literacy Foundation is so pleased to announce that one of our very own ELF volunteers, Ms. Cathy Dickson, has been awarded the OCDSB Chair’s Award for her outstanding contribution to our community. This honour is in recognition of Cathy’s consistent and dedicated work with the youth at Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School and a testament to her impact on young lives. Since 2015, Cathy has been a cherished volunteer and member of the ELF family, offering laughter, thoughtful sensitivity, and encouragement as a literacy tutor. In a time of unprecedented challenges for the world, and particularly for communities facing barriers, we need more kindness and more joy, and Cathy has both in abundance. She brings her unwaveringly sunny disposition to every interaction and a genuine interest to truly know the youth she serves. We are so grateful and proud to have Cathy on the ELF team.
