Woodview has been designated as a Canadian Nonprofit Employer of Choice for a third year in a row! This achievement is extra special due to the challenges created by the pandemic.

“2020 was an extremely difficult year." said Jeff Doran, president of CCEOC Inc. "But even with all the challenges caused by the pandemic, these organizations took the time to assess their operations and recognize their employees for all their hard work and sacrifice. My hat is off to all of these amazing nonprofits!” Doran says, “All winning nonprofits showed strong leadership qualities, particularly in the areas of reputation, management/employee relations and personal enjoyment." Thank you to our leadership team for their commitment to staff and all staff who make Woodview a great place work!

🎬 It's a wrap! This was the second year of virtual events created and hosted by staff and community partners for the annual Mental Health Week. This year the name changed to better reflect the communities that organize and host mental health week events: Brant, Haldimand, Norfolk Mental Health Week (formerly Brant MHW).
