Debuting our annual Salus Community Champion Award and Salus Changemaker Award
We’re thrilled to honour remarkable individuals and organizations helping to build a more inclusive Ottawa:
Salus Community Champion Award: Eli Tannis
Salus Changemaker Award: McDonald Brothers Construction
A mission-driven partner in every sense, McDonald Brothers Construction (MBC) has played a pivotal role in advancing supportive housing through sustainable, purpose-built projects for veterans, at-risk youth, and older adults with mental health challenges. On our Capilano project, MBC has gone above and beyond their role as contractor—stepping up as both a donor and an engaged partner in rallying the community behind this initiative. Their leadership in the construction sector is matched by their community spirit—actively giving back and helping strengthen Ottawa’s culture of care and collaboration.
Can’t attend the event? You can still make an impact.
Donate today to help provide supportive housing, mental health, and substance use recovery services to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
