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 seafood dinner, modelled after the traditional East Coast lobster suppers, and
were entertained by the Irish Descendants from Newfoundland. From the first event, which raised $4,500,
Evening in The Maritimes has grown into one of Ottawa’s premiere 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 close to 1.75 million dollars for Citizen Advocacy!
T h e G a l a D i nner
Evening in The Maritimes features a 4-course meal guaranteed to impress. Enjoy delicious fresh North Atlantic
lobster, smoked grilled filet mignon or stuffed portobello mushrooms, whatever your preference. East Coast
entertainment creates the feel of a traditional kitchen party. Funds are also raised for Citizen Advocacy through
a silent and live auctions and a unique raffle. The silent auction features jewellery, appliances, artwork, unique
gift baskets, travel, golf, and other items. The exciting balloon raffle sees guests win items such as $1,000
cash, trips to Nova Scotia, and hotel mini-vacations. The live auction features suites to local sporting events, a
two-week Mexico vacation and a 10-night cruise to Antarctica (includes airfare voucher). Guests will be
welcomed by our Honourary Co-Chairs – David Cork Director, Scotia Wealth Management and the Honourable
Vernon White who then hand over the evening to our Master of Ceremonies CTV’s Graham Richardson and
live auctioneer Majic 100’s Stuntman Stu.

Who is Citizen Advocacy?
Citizen Advocacy is a registered charity founded in 1974. We harness the power of the
people of Ottawa to provide hope and support to the city’s most vulnerable citizens.
Charitable registration # 13036 2817 RR0001.
What is the “Everyday Champions” program about?
Everyday Champions is a unique program that matches “Advocates”, people of all walks of life in the community with
“Friends”, those who are living with a disability and 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 is the Everyday Champions program serving?
Over the years, Citizen Advocacy has facilitated thousands of matches with those who live with mental and physical
disabilities. Currently, there are 243 “matches”, 148 female and 95 male. They come from all walks of life and include
all ages of adults.
Here are some vital statistics about Citizen Advocacy clients:
Physical disability: 27 %
Psychiatric disability or mental health diagnosis: 14 %
Developmental delay including autism and aspergers: 23 %
Elderly (age related disability): 2 %
Dual diagnosis and/or multiple disabilities (This may include a developmental disability and mental health
diagnosis as well as other co-morbidities): 34 %
Many others in the community are waiting to be partnered with a community advocate. There are currently
300 people on our waiting list.
Citizen Advocacy operates due to the generosity of the community including various levels of government, business,
corporations as well as support from individuals.
Here is our funding breakdown:
United Way Ottawa, approximately $90K or just under 12% of our operating budget
City of Ottawa, approximately $95K, 12%.
Ministry of Community and Social Services - $200K or 26% of our budget.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation – grants that amount to 5%.
The remaining 45% is raised through various fundraising efforts including Evening in The
Maritimes, Murder on the Menu, Ottawa Race Weekend, and the generosity of third party
fundraisers such as golf tournaments and other community events.
