Awards season opens at EKO

September 16, 2024

Celebrate advances that are changing the game for kids with disabilities and developmental needs and the champions behind them. Nominate an outstanding individual, team, or organization for the EKO Tribute Awards, honouring exceptional individuals and their significant contributions to child development.

“Be a part of this uniquely Ontario award! For more than a decade, EKO has recognized remarkable advocates, leaders, innovators, and partners. This year we’re introducing two new awards—one for Rising Stars and another for those whose dedication to service as professionals and as volunteers is changing communities across the province,” says Jennifer Churchill, EKO CEO. “The world is changing and EKO’s Tribute Awards are too. The Tribute Awards are exceptional when it comes to highlighting accomplishments bringing us closer to the inclusive world that is our shared goal, a world where kids with disabilities and developmental differences live their best lives.”

Do you know someone who has made a profound impact through advocacy, leadership, service, discovery, or partnership? Be part of celebrating those who are disrupting the present and shaping the future, changing policy, innovating clinical approaches, making our environments accessible, and promoting inclusion.

Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the remarkable individuals who are making game changing differences for kids with disabilities and developmental differences, their families, and their communities. Visit the Tribute Awards pages to learn more and to nominate those who are moving the bar to new heights.

The EKO Tribute Awards will be presented at Canada’s premier gathering of the child development sector and its partners, the EKO Spring Symposium 2025, on April 16, 2025, at the Sheraton Toronto Centre. Registration opens in November. Find out more about the EKO Spring Symposium 2025.
