Join us for the Spectacular Silver Anniversary Celebration
At the very first Evening in the Maritimes on May 24, 1995, close to 500 people gathered in the Aberdeen Pavilion to enjoy a wonderful dinner, modelled after the traditional East Coast lobster suppers, and were entertained by the Irish Descendants from Newfoundland. From the first event, which raised $38,000, Evening in the Maritimes has grown into one of Ottawa’s premier fundraising soirées by remaining true to its theme: raising funds through an evening of down-east fun, food and entertainment. To date, this formula for fun(d) raising has raised more than $3 million dollars for Citizen Advocacy!
The Gala Dinner The stage is being set for Evening in the Maritimes’ Silver Anniversary on Wednesday, May 22, 2019, another remarkable night of the hospitality and generosity of the East Coast. At this highly-anticipated, sure to be sold-out event, our guests will experience an authentic East Coast party full of food, drinks, friends, and fun! In addition, they will be demonstrating their vital support for Citizen Advocacy’s work to reduce the isolation of people living with disabilities. With Honorary Co-Chairs Senator Vernon White and David Cork, Director, Scotia McLeod, Evening in the Maritimes showcases a fabulous dinner featuring fresh North Atlantic lobster as the star (there are also superb steak, vegetarian and vegan options available)! Other highlights include the exceptional silent and live auctions, splendid balloon raffle (with all balloons popped in unison), and down-east fun and entertainment. A show-stopping 25th anniversary evening to remember! Over 700 high-profile and influential guests will be in attendance, including the most prominent business, medical, political, government, diplomatic, and community leaders, media, and prestigious social figures. Senators, cabinet ministers, MPs, MPPs, and local politicians join the fun every year.

What is the Everyday Champions program?
Everyday Champions is a unique program that matches volunteer Advocates, people of all walks of life in the community, with Friends, those who are living with a disability and who may be isolated, lonely and vulnerable with nowhere else to turn for friendship and support. Many of these matches become long- standing, mutually-rewarding relationships that flourish over decades. A great example is the match between Robin and Mike. Robin lives with autism and can’t speak, but the two men communicate with ease. Their usual routine is to go out for lunch and take long walks along the Ottawa River or the Rideau Canal. Mike knows he can’t take away Robin’s challenges, but he can offer Robin a short respite and something to look forward to. Robin teaches Mike about acceptance, honesty and overcoming fear.
How many people does the Everyday Champions program support?
Over the years, Citizen Advocacy has facilitated thousands of matches with those who live with disabilities. There are more than 340 people waiting for an Advocate. On average people wait 34 months for a match. Currently, there are 296 matches who come from all walks of life and include all ages.
Here are some vital statistics about Citizen Advocacy clients:
Physical disabilities 21% Mental health challenges 14.5 % Developmental disabilities 25.5 % Age related disabilities 1.5 % Dual diagnosis and multiple disabilities 37.5 %
Citizen Advocacy operates due to the generosity of the community including various levels of government, business, corporations as well as support from individuals.
