IN HONOUR OF THE ONES WE LOVE ONE FOCUS – ONE PURPOSE – OUR COMMUNITY! In November 2020, Anita Imperioli was awarded the Community Service Award from the Ontario Medical Association. The award recognizes a significant contribution to the health and welfare of people of a local community. The Ontario Medical Association felt that Anita’s work and dedication, through In Honour of the Ones We Love, has enriched the lives of people throughout the region who face cancer, other life threatening illnesses as well as those with special needs. Anita states “this is wonderful and I am humbled.” In Honour of the Ones We Love was started after the loss of her one year old son, Michael, to cancer. It is something she feels compelled to do and does so tirelessly. In Honour’s fundraising efforts continue in many different ways: CalendarPages.qxp_Layout 1 2020-11-27 11:52 AM Page 1

Breakfast Program
In Memoriam
The breakfast program supports children and adolescents who are dealing with social, emotional, developmental or behavioural issues. It is more than feeding children but addressing their nutritional status, healthy food choices, relieving stress and making them more attentive and energetic.
The “In Memoriam” online donations from families in the community.
Gift of Warmth
Adult Mental Health
Again this year, in keeping with tradition, In Honour was blessed with the opportunity to donate our “Gift of Warmth” which means more than a cozy blanket. It symbolizes caring, hugs and love for our patients. It is a way that reminds them someone is thinking of them always.
Our adult mental health donations help deliver therapeutic programming, clinical services and social activities for seniors who are experiencing symptoms associated with mental illness, moderate dementia and other chronic conditions.
IN HONOUR OF THE ONES WE LOVE is truly thankful for the generosity, belief, and support of our Sponsors, Volunteers, Families, Friends and will continue our legacy of being an integral part of the community.
