Janice Horton – VOscar Winner!

Winners of Volunteer Ottawa’s 2026 VOscars Awards were announced on September 2, and Ellwood House Board President Janice Horton was selected as the recipient for this year’s Mayor’s Award for Volunteer Spirit. A representative of the United Way of Eastern Ontario will present Janice her award at the VOscars gala on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at Ben Franklin Place. 

The event will celebrate Ottawa’s vibrant volunteer community and give special recognition to individuals, organizations, and businesses that have made a difference in the community. We look forward to sharing photos of the event, and are delighted and thrilled that Janice’s commitment to Ellwood House and the Ellwood House Extension project has received a second award in as many months!
