VisionVision

To support and assist older adults and adults with physical

disabilities to enhance their well-being by promoting

independence.

MissionMission

The Good Companions is an incorporated, charitable

organization in Ottawa dedicated to promoting, enhancing

and supporting the zest for living, well-being and

independence of older adults as well as adults with physical

disabilities.

ValuesValues

Accessibility, Accountability, Collaboration, Compassion,

Dignity, Innovation, Respect for Diversity, Responsiveness

The original aim of The Good Companions was to create a place where older citizens could meet and share companionship with friends meet new people, encourage independence and to also en-able people to enjoy a good nutritious meal at a reasonable cost. In our 60 years as an organiza-tion we have increased our services and pro-grams to numerous clients and members across the city and continue to expand our commit-ment to the community. We recognized our 60

th anniversary with a num-

ber of celebrations throughout the year. The crowning event was the wonderful Gala held in October. In addition to the monthly meetings of the Board of Directors, Board members chair the Standing Committees and work closely with the staff to en-sure that manuals are kept up to date; and new

policies and procedures are in place for the wellbeing of the organization, our clients and 2

members. The Board was actively involved in searching for a new Executive Director. In December we welcomed Monique Doolittle-Romas as our new ED. Monique was the Chief Executive Officer at the Canadian AIDS Society. She has manage-ment and leadership experience at the execu-tive level. She has worked closely with key stakeholders and is knowledgeable in develop-ing funding proposals. Monique was also em-ployed with the United Way. Since joining The Good Companions she has worked very closely with the staff helping them to move forward dur-ing an unsettling time. She has also spent time getting to know the members. We received a substantial funding cut and the Board had to make some difficult decisions as to how best manage the loss of funds. It was a challenging time for everyone and with the changes that were made, the organization man-aged to finish the year with a balanced budget. We did receive some one-time funding from New Horizons; Ontario Seniors Secretariat and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). An example of how these funds were used was for such things as upgrading the light-ing; replacing toilets; repairing the sliding door and purchasing a steam table for the kitchen. This is my final year as President of the Board of Directors and I thank the Board, staff and vol-unteers for their dedication and commitment to our members and clients.

20I5/16 has been a year of celebration, challenges and change.

DoolittleDoolittle--Romas.Romas.

It is an honor to be part of The Good Companions family. Members, clients, volunteers and staff are all part of one family. I am so impressed with the wide variety of programs and services that we of-fer. Every year we offer more than 100 programs and services to more than 2300 clients and mem-bers. All of our programs are designed to keep seniors and adults with physical disabilities active and en-gaged. Whether someone is interested in fitness programs, crafts or woodworking, we offer it all. Our services reduce isolation and keep people safe at home. Our Community Support Services team provides transportation services, trips to the grocery store, handy helpers, friendly visitors or telephone assurance calls. Our Seniors Centre Without Walls is a free educational and entertain-ing program for those seniors who are isolated. All it takes is a telephone! Our services assist seniors to live at home longer and decrease incidents of hospital visits. Our ser-vices reduce isolation leading to a decrease in de-pression and loneliness. Our food services team ensures that everyone receives a nutritious and delicious meal at a reasonable cost. The friendship and company are part of the delicious meal. The Adult Day Support Program is designed to en-hance well-being by providing social, physical and mental stimulation in a supportive group environ-ment, strengthen the ability to remain independent

for as long as possible and provide respite to caregivers. We are truly blessed to be supported by our amazing volunteers who together donated more than 33,000 hours this year to the Centre. Volunteers have always been and will always be at the core of our services. I would be remiss if I did not thank the amazing staff team of The Good Companions Centre. They are dedicated, passionate and compas-sionate. They never lose sight of our true mis-sion of serving seniors and adults with disabili-ties and they do so with a smile. March was an incredibly busy time at The Good Companions. Not only did we offer our programs and services but we also hosted our most successful Health Fair and our Vintage and Vibrant luncheon. This year, we hosted the luncheon at the Centre. It was a resounding success!! We showcased our Centre, hosted 150 guests and welcomed new sponsors. And we raised more than $20,000. We would like to recognize our allies at the Ot-tawa Senior Pride Network. We are proud of the work we have accomplished together in creating a space that is welcoming to all sen-iors in Ottawa. I want to recognize the Board of Directors for their leadership, stewardship and guidance. Special thanks to Beryl McKale for her four years of dedication as President of the Board of Directors. We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing con-tributions made by our funders. Their substan-tial support allow us to provide the programs and services which help so many! When you come to the Centre, know that you will be welcomed and supported and you will feel like you have come home. I am looking for-ward to the year ahead!!

I don’t know how The Good Companions do it but thank

God they are there. A true Life Savior for me and I would pre-

sume many others. ...thanks from a TGC member. 3

Day Centre Activities & Volunteer Services Report

Happy Anniversary! The Good Companions was buzzing with activity and excitement in 2015 as we celebrated our 60

th Diamond Jubi-

lee. The Good Companions Choir performed a special song in honour of our 60

th anniversary

at their concert in May. Stan Harris and the Ju-bilee committee also organized many other events to celebrate our Jubilee year. Some events included; Rideau Hall Visit, Diamond Ju-bilee Tea, Service of Thanksgiving, 60

th Anni-

versary Gala at the Hellenic Centre and an An-niversary Luncheon. There were also many other fun-filled programs and activities for our members and their guests to enjoy throughout the year. The Seniors’ Centre Without Walls (SCWW) program had an extremely successful first year. SCWW is a 3 year community outreach pilot project funded by The Ontario Trillium Founda-tion. Using a simple teleconferencing system the SCWW brings free programs to isolated seniors and adults with physical disabilities in the community. It removes barriers for those who cannot access recreation centres in person due to financial constraints, transportation, ill-ness and/or mobility issues. The program be-gan in April 2015 with 3 programs running each week. The program now has approximately 8 – 10 programs running each week and continues to grow. In 2015, the SCWW program also added a new part time staff, Nicolas Chranows-

ky. Nicolas and Rachel work together to provide this outstanding program that is sure to grow even more next year.

The Adult Day Program (ADP) remains a hub of activity within the Day Centre. Our ADP operates Monday, Wednesday and Thursday each week providing care to 28 to 30 clients each day. Our clients participate in a variety of different activi-ties. Some of the highlights this year included baking cookies, making home-made ice-cream and participating in the 60

th Anniversary Service

of Thanksgiving. The Craft Studio continues to showcase their tal-ent in the beautiful products that they produce. Their merchandise is available for purchase and is on display in the showcase in the Front Lobby and in the Repeat Performance Shop. Both Ba-zaars were successful as were the smaller sales that take place throughout the year at special events. The Good Companions’ programs, special events, day trips and Alan P. Sentance Lecture Series’ continue to be popular for our members and guests. Program registration was also suc-cessful in 2015/16. All four program registration periods did well and offered a wide range of pro-grams for our members to participate in and en-joy. Some of the new programs offered this year included; Memory Fitness, Labyrinth Meditation, Zentangles and Hooked Rug, (just to name a few). We continue to see a greater increase in telephone registrations each year. The Day Cen-tre always welcomes suggestions and feedback on our programs and services. Please keep your suggestions coming and we will do our best to fulfill your requests. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the amazing

Community Support Services Report

Wendy Tang, Chair Community Support Services Committee

Anne Kendall Community Support Services Supervisor

Our Community Support Department has once again had an extremely busy but very rewarding year. We have shown an increase in the need for our Transportation Program by providing an amazing 6,900 drives to medical appointments and for gro-cery shopping. This has only been possible with the help and dedication of our wonder-ful volunteer drivers who give of their time for our clients. Our strong collaboration with other community agencies in the Champlain Community Transportation Project has meant much better scheduling of the community vans; mean-ing more clients have benefit-ted from the program. It would not have been possible to achieve this without the tre-mendous support of our Grocery Stores, Massine’s Independent Grocer’s and Loblaws Va-nier Market who sponsor our buses and vans to get our clients out for groceries, and our great vol-unteers who assist our clients around the store and during their trips – thank you so much for making this happen! We were so happy to recognise our major sponsor of the Centretown Grocery Bus, Dave Massine of Massine’s Independent Grocer’s at the 2016 Vin-

tage and Vibrant Luncheon. We acknowledge the amazing support he and his staff have continued to give our clients. We look forward

6

to continuing to build this relationship. Thanks goes out to Chartwell, New Edinburgh Square for their sponsorship of our refreshments at Lo-blaws Vanier Market on Thursdays. We continue to collaborate with The Ottawa Chi-nese Community and the Aging in Place Pro-gram to provide free grocery shopping trips for our seniors living in the Aging in Place buildings in Centretown and Centretown West. The Rainbow Coffee Club continues its success with growing numbers, allowing LGBT Seniors an opportunity to socialize in a safe environ-ment. Thank you to Centretown Community Health Centre for continued partnership in facili-tating this group. With the help and commitment of our eight skilled, dedicated volunteers, we continued to meet the increased demand for our Handy Help-er Volunteer Program who help our clients with

odd jobs around the home and with their technological needs such as computers and DVDs, and using pro-grams such as Facebook, Outlook and their smartphones. Thanks goes out to our team of caring, dedicated volunteers who help us all year round in all of our CSS Programs; whether it’s visit-ing clients at home, calling them to check in and see if they are ok, helping with odd jobs around the home

or making sure they get safely on and off the grocery bus – we thank you so much for all you do year round. Much appreciation goes out to Carleton Univer-sity School of Social Work for referring some amazing students to us again this year! Lastly a big thank you to the CSS Staff Team –

Brenda Packer, Miranda Chan and Sharon Fitz-

patrick who stepped up to cover Carolyn Calder

while on maternity leave. We are so happy that

Carolyn welcomed a lovely baby boy in March.

O’Reilly McIntosh Facility Coordinator

This last year was a busy and challenging year for Food Services at The Good Companions. In 2015/16 the team served almost 21,000 meals to Meals on Wheels (MOW) alone which includes soup, main course, dessert and fruit. We provide over 30% of the hot meals for MOW from TGC’s kitchen and are their largest food provider at this time. A major accomplishment was being named the “#1 kitchen” through a MOW satisfaction survey. Their cli-ents have been very pleased with the quality of our meals and the fact that we are very flexible with spe-cial requests. On top of the 20,843 meals for MOW we produced another 9,000 meals for the dining room and the Adult Day Program which amounts to over 30,000 meals last year. This does not include all the special func-tions and catering nor the bar services that we pro-vide. Catering during the Christmas season was very busy. It began with the Christmas Bazaar where we sold a record amount of small and large meat pies, selling over 200 of the large tourtieres and close to 200 small pies. We also hosted Christmas parties for the Ottawa Senior Pride Network, Lesbian Outdoor Group and Bruce House. We finished the Christmas catering sea-son with our annual Kiwanis Christmas Luncheon. 2015 saw the completion of our renovation in the din-ing room and comments have been positive. In the future we would like to increase our sales in the dining room, catering services and bar sales. This will provide more revenue to help cover the rising cost of food, and other costs associated with running a suc-cessful dining room. A huge thank you goes out to the Food Services Team: Aaron Brown, Miranda Gumeni, Eva Mihili and Artan Vasili. No matter how busy the days are, the team always manages to provide delicious and nutri-tious meals to our members and clients.

The Property Committee has been busy over the 2015/16 year planning and implementing various projects. In early 2015 the Centre saw the completion of two projects: a lighting retrofit, made possible by a New Horizons grant and dining room reno-vations made possible by HOPE Volleyball funding. Both projects turned out to be a success. With hydro prices increasing, the retrofit allowed overall savings through decreased consump-tion/usage fees. The dining room updates im-proved accessibility for our members and cli-ents and allows a better flow to the area. The Good Companions was also able to com-plete a number of small repairs which included the replacement of 7 toilets and a new motor for our front entrance sliding doors. After much time and effort, our organization is happy to announce that we are successfully re-zoned to allow rental of our parking lot and are currently working towards obtaining our parking business licence. The Centre staff also took the time to review our current rental agreement package and fees. Policy changes and price increases now cover all of the costs associated with rentals. TGC and the Property Committee would like to recognize the hard work and long term commit-ment of 2 members: our Facilities Coordinator, O'Reilly McIntosh, who will be retiring in 2016 and long term volunteer Stan Harris who will be stepping down from the Committee. Thank you both for your dedication to making TGC a better place!

To suggest that 2015/16 Fundraising and Mar-keting (F&M) efforts has enjoyed a great year would be an understatement; and the credit goes to TGC clients, volunteers, staff, commit-tee & board members and supporters who em-braced the new direction the F&M strategy has taken! Turning our focus partially away from event driv-en fundraising and moving toward a friend-raising approach has opened the door to new possibilities for TGC. The 2015/16 fundraising efforts featured suc-cessful Walk of Ages/Team TGC initiatives and a very successful Health Fair. Our success cre-ated a surge of momentum for what became the most successful Christmas Bazaar ever. It also included a renewal of the partnership with Ad-vanced Hearing Group and continued support from Scotiabank. The 2015 Solicitation Letter fell short of its goal but as per the change in the F&M direction, the 2016 edition will be split into 3 separate mail-ings that will feature targeted, tangible goals. Specificity will be the key to the success of the solicitation letter moving forward. Creating a val-

ues match is everything! 2016 began with a very successful Health Fair. We enjoyed an increase in the number of exhibi-tors which translated in an increase in revenue. In fact, more revenue than any other TGC Health Fair! The Health Fair was followed by the 2016 TGC Vintage & Vibrant Luncheon. WOW. Rather than panic after learning that The Chateau Lauri-er would be undergoing construction of their parking lot, we turned lemons into lemonade! Af-ter extensive, accelerated conversations with members of the senior staff team, we decided to move the luncheon to the Centre which turned out to be the perfect forum to tell TGC’s story! The event was a great success with our raising over $20,000 thanks to a sold out room! Can’t wait to see what 2016/17 has to offer us!

With scissors, knitting needles, crochet hooks

and willing hands, production volunteers of The

Good Companions (TGC) have transformed ma-

terials to help our community, our country and

the world at large! The Good Companions’ Day Centre Craft Studio represents the Centre in an extremely positive way, taking part in numerous meaningful initia-tives to help others. Members of the ‘Izzy Doll’ program make the dolls for the Izzy Doll Project and the dolls are given out to orphans and children in need by the Canadian Armed Forces in such places as Ne-pal, Afghanistan, Haiti and the Philippines. Of-ten the dolls are the only toys these children will ever see.

Members of the ‘Milk Bag Mats’ program crochet and weave milk bags into mats and totes for im-poverished countries such as Haiti. The Craft Studio also participates in The Red Scarf Project which raises awareness for World AIDS Day. Our members knit/crochet red scarves that are displayed around the downtown area on Decem-ber 1st to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS. Wildlife Bird Nests is also a charity that our Craft Studio supports. Our members knit or crochet nests that are sent to The Wild Bird Care Centre and/or Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, which are both local organizations. The nests provide birds and small mammals with a comfortable nest/home while receiving lifesaving care. All groups should be very proud of their work and their efforts to help others.

The Finance Committee spent much of its time throughout fiscal year 2015/16 advising both the Board of Directors as well as the Manage-

ment Team of The Good Companions on matters pertaining to fiscal responsibility, reporting accu-racy of revenues and expenses, review of invest-ments and the accuracy of financial statements. Contained in this Annual Report is the Summary Financial Statement for reference. We acknowledge the many sources of funding that we receive throughout the year including our major funders: the Government of Ontario through the Champlain LHIN, Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat, United Way, City of Ottawa, New Ho-rizons, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Community Foundation of Ottawa and Private Donors.

A greatly successful 1st Anniversary to our Senior Centre Without Walls Program!

The Senior Centre Without Walls (SCWW) program celebrates its first year anniver-

sary, in April 2016! The SCWW initiative removes barriers for seniors and adults with

disabilities and connects them with telephone based programming that connects, cre-

ates friendships and re-establishes ties to the community. The program features a va-

riety of topical discussions, event celebrations and much more. SCWW’s goal is to

eliminate isolation and to create an invaluable opportunity to socialize and share.
