CCN Welcomes New Director of Donor Relations & Communications

Welcome to Joel Scott!

Community Care Northumberland (CCN) is excited to welcome Joel Scott as the new Director of Donor Relations and Communications. This comes after our announcement in July (2022) that Lynda Kay had decided to retire from her role as Director of Donor Relations and Communications for CCN and Ed’s House Foundation as of this October.

Joel is excited about his new role, “There’s a bunch of superheroes within this organization doing such incredible work. I’m looking forward to joining this team, sharing all of the stories and work CCN does, and building on the legacy that Lynda and the CCN team have built.”

Joel grew up in Cobourg as a child and moved back here in 2002 with his family to help launch STAR 93.3 radio. You may know him from waking up with his morning radio show at, “Ugh O’clock in the morning” for the better part of 15 years. He’s also been an active member in our community as a volunteer, coach, event host, Emcee for our 2022 Handbags for Hospice event, and as a licensed mortgage agent.

Joel will join CCN this Monday, September 19th, where he can contacted at 905-885-0466 or j.scott@commcare.ca.
