45 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION CAKE
OVER 100 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE EVENT
On September 12th, Cota celebrated its 45th Anniversary with over 100 staff, individuals who receive our services and partner colleagues. This event marks a milestone in Cota's journey as an organization as we introduced our first ever Inspiring Change Awards. As our Vice-President of The Board said, “I was fortunate enough to attend, hearing firsthand the inspiring stories that both our staff and clients were so fond to share”
JEFF ADAMS | GUEST SPEAKER
“The venue was fantastic and exemplified how we foster a close relationship between client, team member, stakeholders and community. Despite being a packed house, the tone was intimate and personal, as we were welcomed with 2 indigenous songs, performed by Cota team member Patricia and then a talk by Jeff Adams, a 5-time Paralympian and 6-time World Champion.”
The awards were presented to:
(1) service users and their respective support staff
