2010 SHCHC Award for Excellence in Health Promotion
With the annual Award for Excellence in Health Promotion established in 2007, the SHCHC is proud to honour individuals whose activities and initiatives have contributed to improving the health and wellness of our community. These unsung heroes deserve our recognition for their contributions to building healthy Sandy Hill and Ottawa East communities through activities such as health education, policy initiatives or increased public awareness around health issues, and who demonstrated leadership and collaborated with others to promote health and wellness in the community.
This year, the award was presented at the Annual General Meeting, on June 22nd, to Aamina Badran, in recognition of her untiring role as a committed volunteer with the SLOE (Sustainable Living Ottawa East), and resident of Old Ottawa East community.
Ottawa East is a better place to live and work, because of the active input of community volunteer, Aamina Badran. Aamina is involved in many local activities. At the very successful Farmers’ Market on the grounds of Saint Paul University, she's an integral part of the volunteers that make the market so family friendly. With her face painting team and her other artistic talents, the market has become a social hub for meeting neighbours and friends, as well as buying local produce.
As a member of SLOE, she is a coordinator of The Children's Garden. Each week she runs an eco – playgroup on site, teaching preschoolers and their parents about organic gardening and healthy living through songs and stories.
Aamina has also founded a playgroup at the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, at 88 Main Street. With a special emphasis on inclusivity and with a warm welcome for new Canadians, the playgroup is another example of Aamina's talents and active participation in the community.
When it comes to looking at the health and well-being of the community, Aamina's dynamic and caring personality and energy have certainly made an outstanding contribution. Because of her generosity of spirit we are all enriched in our daily lives.
