Karen Dalton and Kelly Ziegner smiling with their King Charles III Coronation Medals

Last week, we were proud to present long-time United Way supporter Karen Dalton with a King Charles III Coronation Medal.

The King Charles III Coronation Medal is awarded by the Government of Canada to recognize individuals of all ages and from all walks of life who have made a significant difference in their communities, provinces, territories or who have attained an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.

UWEM nominated Karen to recognize her 40 years of support for United Way in our area as a volunteer, a workplace coordinator, allocations volunteer, and campaign cabinet member. Karen contributed her insight over eight years on our Board of Directors and even served as interim chief executive officer prior to Kelly officially taking on the role.

We were also very pleased to learn that while our local United Way was nominating Karen Dalton for this medal, United Way Centraide Canada was nominating Kelly Ziegner, CEO and President of United Way Elgin Middlesex, for the same honour.

UWCC’s nomination read: “With 25 years of service at United Way Elgin Middlesex and within the non-profit sector, Kelly’s leadership and vision have helped to shape our Movement as Canada’s leading social impact movement , addressing the essential needs of our communities.”

The King Charles III Coronation Medal is awarded by the Government of Canada to recognize individuals of all ages and from all walks of life who have made a significant difference in their communities, provinces, territories or who have attained an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.

Building a Resilient Economy and Strong Communities

by Dakota Halfpenny on March 13, 2025 Comments Off on Building a Resilient Economy and Strong Communities

Over the last weeks, United Way Centraide Canada (UWCC) has been actively monitoring developments and talking with other sector leaders to better understand and assess the implications of Tariffs and the resulting economic uncertainty.

As Federal, Provincial and Territorial Governments prepare responses to support businesses and workers to cope with the impact of tariffs and to diversify our economy, we recommend that they must also invest in essential community services. We also urge governments to fund income security and labour adjustment programs, 211 capacity and community infrastructure.

With the United States levying 25% tariffs on Canadian exports, businesses, individuals,
families and communities are bracing for severe economic and social impacts. Unlike the deep but short economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this trade war and the associated uncertainty created around investment in Canada’s economy has the potential to instigate a restructuring of our economy with lasting impacts on employment and on household incomes.

At United Way Centraide, we know that economic hardship leads to social hardship. This trade war will lead to job loss, increased cost of living, and poorer health and wellbeing of individuals and their families. This means more people in Canada will find themselves in need of help – many for the first time – at a time when demand for essential community services is already at an all-time high.

We also know that Canada is a country of abundance, not scarcity. We are immensely diverse, talented and creative, and we have enormous resources at our disposal. We have the assets to maintain and build a prosperous economy for all. People in Canada are proud and caring, and we will stand up for and support our businesses, workers, families, friends, and neighbours – especially those made most vulnerable by the inequities in our society.

As the Prime Minister and Premiers have highlighted, challenging times lie ahead for
businesses, workers and communities. At times of social and economic crisis, Canada’s
essential community services have always been the first to mobilize to deliver urgent supports in our communities from coast to coast to coast.

As our Federal, Provincial and Territorial Governments prepare responses to support business and workers to cope with the impact of tariffs and to diversify our economy, we must also invest in essential community services which are already mobilizing to meet the essential needs of people across Canada and to ensure they can thrive into the future. We must also ensure any economic and infrastructure investments made during this time have a direct, lasting benefit for Canada’s workers and communities.

Canada’s Tariff Response Must Include Investments in Essential Community Services, Employment and Income Support Programs and Investment in Community Infrastructure

As Canada grapples with unprecedented economic uncertainty, strategic federal investment is required to ensure no one is left behind. A Made-in-Canada tariff response package must include investments in essential community services which will be more in demand during this crisis than at any period since the COVID-19 pandemic. Such services provide people with secure access to food, prevent homelessness and evictions, provide community-based child care and support employment transitions. Many people affected by this trade war will find themselves in need of community services for the first time and will also need support to navigate the available community programs and government income supports.

During the pandemic, the federal government quickly enacted Made-in-Canada solutions to shield community members and businesses from descending into deep crises. Strategic investments in programs such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program, Emergency Community Support Fund, Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and the Canada Child Benefit were critical to stabilizing incomes and businesses, to meeting people’s basic needs and in stopping the spread COVID-19. Recovery programs that followed, including the historic Community Services Recovery Fund, contributed to greater operational resilience in the nonprofit and charitable sector and can serve as a model for investments in sector capacity to boost productivity.

Building on the lessons learned from Canada’s pandemic response programs, a strong Made in-Canada response that targets strategic investments in local community success will help to boost short and long-term productivity and help protect and preserve our economic strength.

Recommendations

Immediately invest in the direct community-based services people across Canada, are, and will continue to, turn to

Invest $500 million in the essential community services that provide direct benefit to workers, individuals and families that will be struggling to meet their basic needs.(i)

This fund can achieve several objectives:

  • Expand provision of basic needs support.
  • Prevent homelessness by investing in Rent Banks to prevent evictions and by implementing measures to support homeowners, particularly low- and moderate income workers affected by tariffs and those on fixed incomes struggling with the rising cost of living.
  • Boost the productivity of community service organizations by ensuring they have the staffing capacity and employee supports to address sustained higher demand.
  • Enhance access to employment training and transition programs.

Build on the success of pandemic response programs by entrusting community based intermediaries to leverage their on-the-ground expertise and knowledge to distribute federal funding quickly and efficiently to meet basic needs and enhance organizational capacity and contributions to the economy.

Expand income support and peer-led labour adjustment programs for laid off workers

  • Improve the level of Employment Insurance benefits and enhance eligibility through flexible criteria that responds to this moment and to the evolution of employment in Canada so all effected workers can access adequate benefits.
  • Implement targeted increases to income security programs, such as the Canada Child Benefit and the GST/HST Rebate, recognizing the increased cost of goods and services will hamper affordability for low-and middle-income households.
  • Invest in expanding specific workplace, regional or sectoral peer-led labour adjustment programs so that workers facing temporary or permanent layoffs due to the trade war are supported in identifying and navigating government support programs, social support programs and opportunities to build new skills for new, in-demand careers.
  • Invest in the capacity of the 2-1-1 community navigation service to support community members seeking community services and government income and retraining programs to ease the burden on Service Canada and other services.

Invest in Community Infrastructure

    • Boost Canada’s productivity by investing in building vital community assets such as community hubs, community centres and nonprofit housing to provide local jobs, help community agencies benefit from the efficiencies of co-location and shared services, and to increase availability of affordable housing.

Maximize the return on infrastructure investments by implementing Community Benefit Agreements so that any infrastructure spending can realize additional social and economic benefits, such as job creation, training and apprenticeships and procurement opportunities for local businesses and social enterprises.

Unlock the Generosity of Donors

  • Incentivize people in Canada to “Give Local” by implementing a government donation matching program for individuals and corporations giving to local, community-based charities and nonprofits.

Conclusion

The United Way Centraide network is ready and willing to work with the federal, provincial and territorial governments to support communities and strengthen our economy and social solidarity at this challenging time.

As the biggest non-government funder of human and community services in Canada, we proudly support an ecosystem of over 3,833 essential local community service organizations in 5,000 communities and work collaboratively with community service organizations, all levels of government, business and labour partners to meet basic needs and solve complex social problems. We will always step up to do what it takes to ensure everyone in every community has the opportunity to meet their full potential.

(i) This estimate is based on application data for emergency pandemic funding from community service organizations. In the case of the $350 M Emergency Community Support Fund, the demand for funding for applications to United Way Centraides across the country was over 200% of the available funds. Given the high degree of uncertainty around the economic and social impacts of the current trade war, the level of funding for community services will need to calibrated to the length of this crisis and the social and economic impacts experienced by communities.

Elbows up!

by Dakota Halfpenny on March 6, 2025 Comments Off on Elbows up!

In every corner of the country, including here in Elgin Middlesex, “elbows up” has become a unifying refrain as Canadians grapple with a trade war and threats to our sovereignty. Never in my lifetime have I seen such solidarity and unified resolve toward any one issue or concern. That solidarity has become a beacon of hope for all of us in this volatile time.  

We need hope. We need it more than ever as we stare down the prospect of a prolonged trade war that threatens the livelihoods of so many of us. The uncertainty has become paralyzing, and we are seeing this play out at boardroom tables and kitchen tables across the country. Corporations and organizations are pausing production and laying off workers, and at home, families are having tough conversations about financial security and well-being.  

One of the consequences of this paralysis and uncertainty is a sharp decline in charitable giving since the holidays. I’m hearing this from United Way colleagues across the country and local nonprofit leaders alike. All of them are expressing a deepening concern for their ability to maintain services with limited resources and for a rapid unravelling of our social service safety net.  

I worry that as our collective gaze is focused on the actions of our neighbours south of the border, we’re losing sight of our neighbours struggling TODAY on our city streets. The issues we collectively face as a nation will only serve to deepen the persistent challenges of homelessness and poverty we are already grappling with. We need your help reinforcing that safety net, one stitch and one donor at a time.  

The power of community buoys my optimism in these challenging times. Every day, I see individuals uniting for good. Whether it be donors, volunteers, or frontline workers, people are showing their commitment to helping our most vulnerable and improving community conditions for all of us. The act of giving – of helping – gives us a sense of purpose and agency and hope for a brighter tomorrow.   

Rooted in hockey, “elbows up” is a perfectly Canadian rallying cry that speaks to the need to protect our collective future. I’d like to suggest adding another sports-themed call to action that speaks to the local love we can show TODAY: “dig deep”. Dig deep and give what you can. Every volunteer hour and every financial contribution, no matter the size, can change a life: right here, right now.  Unite with us, and make it happen.  

Elbows up and dig deep, my friends.

Ontario United Ways: How Ontario’s political parties must deal with homelessness

by Dakota Halfpenny on February 26, 2025 Comments Off on Ontario United Ways: How Ontario’s political parties must deal with homelessness

With a provincial election this week, United Ways across Ontario are calling on the next provincial government to take meaningful action to both prevent homelessness and improve the lives of those experiencing it in our communities.

The following is an op-ed, written in collaboration with United Ways across the province, and was originally published by Postmedia:

According to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), more than 81,500 people are experiencing homelessness in our province, many in one of 1,400 encampments often located in public spaces and municipal parkland.

Encampments are not a solution — not for the people forced to live in them, not for surrounding residents, and not for municipalities struggling to respond.

This election, political parties must face a hard truth: Greater enforcement is not the answer.

We cannot police our way out of this problem. Breaking up encampments without providing viable housing and essential supports doesn’t solve homelessness — it shifts it temporarily, pushing people into more precarious situations. Instability is both a cause and consequence of homelessness and dismantling encampments only deepens that instability.

We need evidence-based solutions that reflect the urgency and scale of the homelessness crisis and the unique challenges faced by northern, rural and urban communities.

United Ways across the province believe Ontario’s next premier must commit to:

Scaling Up Supportive and Transitional Housing

Addictions and Mental Health Ontario estimates the cost of housing with supports is $2,200/month ($72/day). This provides significantly greater stability than a shelter bed at $2,083/month or $4,300 in a correctional facility or $13,500 for a hospital bed.

While these figures vary depending on location and level of support required, all suggest supportive housing is more cost-effective, compassionate and successful.

Research shows that every $10 invested in supportive housing saves $21.72 in health care, social services, and justice system costs. Yet, Ontario’s current housing strategies fail to account for the urgent need for supportive housing, leaving many people cycling through crisis systems that deepen instability. The province must prioritize low-barrier, permanent supportive housing — not just as a moral imperative, but as a fiscally responsible solution.

Sustained Investments in Mental Health and Addiction Supports

A continuum of mental health care, including evidence-based harm reduction, crisis intervention and long-term treatment, must be embedded into Ontario’s housing strategy.

These are not just social measures — they are smart, upstream investments that pave the way for housing retention, reduce the burden on policing, emergency services, and the justice system. Without adequate mental health and addiction supports, individuals in crisis end up in emergency rooms, shelters, or with law enforcement — without the care they need. Strengthening community-based mental health services prevents crises, improves outcomes, and reduces reliance on costly, reactive systems.

Innovative Approaches to Distinct Challenges

Encampment evictions cost municipalities millions of dollars, with no measurable reduction in homelessness. Engagement-based models cost less and deliver better outcomes, helping people move from survival to stability. The Dufferin Grove Park Model, which prioritizes relationship-building and social service provision over enforcement, has shown promising results transitioning people from encampments into housing.

In rural areas — where AMO reports homelessness is increasing at a faster rate than in urban centres — limited shelter, transitional housing and specialized support options across greater distances add unique challenges.

But some approaches are proving successful. The Heart to Home Bridge Housing Program in Huron County combines low-barrier entry to transitional housing, intensive case management and group sessions to support the journey to stable housing. In Lanark County, a transitional housing initiative that connects people to services and supports, rent supplements, coupled with medical expertise and harm reduction supports, is helping people stay housed.

This Election Is About More Than Encampments — It’s About Dignity

At its core, this isn’t about encampments. It’s about establishing the foundation for all Ontarians to live with dignity, with sufficient income to meet basic needs. That means increasing social assistance rates and ensuring the minimum wage reflects a living wage, so people aren’t forced into homelessness. As recommended by more than 400 nonprofit housing experts convened by United Ways and partners, it’s about protecting the existing affordable housing we have and developing a new pipeline of affordable co-op and non-profit housing so that people can find an affordable place to live.

Ontario’s next premier must act to ensure those farthest from the shore aren’t thrust into deeper precarity. By addressing poverty at its roots, we’ll also prevent rising costs in health care and emergency services.

Ontarians deserve leadership that understands housing is a human right, and dignity is non-negotiable.

2024 Charitable Donation Deadline Extended

by Dakota Halfpenny on January 17, 2025 Comments Off on 2024 Charitable Donation Deadline Extended
Type Diabeat-it kids in nursery

The Government of Canada has announced an exciting opportunity for Canadians looking to give back this year. The deadline for 2024 charitable donations has been extended to February 28, 2025. This will give donors additional time to make contributions that are eligible for inclusion on their 2024 tax returns. You can read more details about the announcement on the CRA website

This extension provides extra flexibility for anyone who wishes to support United Way while maximizing their tax benefits.

For many, the usual December 31 deadline can feel rushed amidst the holiday season’s financial and time pressures. The new extended timeline allows more time to plan and make meaningful contributions, ensuring that no one needs to miss out due to year-end constraints or delays. 

These donations can qualify for tax credits, reducing the overall cost of giving. For instance, federal and provincial tax credits combined can significantly offset the value of donations, encouraging more Canadians to engage in philanthropy. To see how a donation could impact your taxes, see our Tax Calculator

Take advantage of this extended deadline to help us build a better community for everyone!

Stepping Up at TD StairClimb

by Dakota Halfpenny on November 20, 2024 Comments Off on Stepping Up at TD StairClimb
TD team posing at TD StairClimb on November 13, 2024

We came, we climbed, we conquered!

People who attended the TD StairClimb on November 13th told us they came away feeling like champions! 

Even after 28 years, the TD StairClimb for United Way Elgin Middlesex still feels fresh every year. Over 700 participants climbed up, down and around the whole first level of Canada Life Place (formerly Budweiser Gardens) for a total of 1000 stairs climbed!

86 teams from dozens of local workplaces and schools came to step up for their community – pushing the event’s fundraising total over $100,000.

Powered by adrenaline and positive energy, over 700 climbers got limber with a warmup from our friends Allison and Cory from FitClub Boot Camps before taking to the stairs and then enjoying some refreshments afterwards.

Olympic Champion Damian Warner provided some star power for the day, joining local notables London Police Chief Thai Truong, Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Gary Bridge and City Manager Sandra Datars Bere to root on the climbers.

Title Sponsor TD showed up in force with 13 teams from across the city. Other colourful groups with large turnouts included Western University and Canada Life. Costumed mascots from Western and Fanshawe had some competition for “best dressed” from teams who showed up to have fun with themed outfits for the Climb.

All proceeds support the local community and help United Way, the region’s largest non-government funder of social services, to invest in dozens of programs and services that reduce and prevent poverty and give everyone a fair shot at a good life.

Presenting sponsor for the StairClimb was TD Canada. Event sponsors were EllisDon, Mainstreet Credit Union, LiUNA Local 1059, Royal Fence, In-kind sponsors were Canada Life Place, FitClub Bootcamps and City of London. Media sponsors were Corus Radio (980 CFPL, Country 104, Fresh 103.1, FM96) and myFM.
