SERVICE AWARDS CATALOGUE UPDATE

Last year we received your feedback on the Service Awards Catalogue through the Joint Employee Association. We have been working hard to update the catalogue to incorporate your suggestions.

Historically, we were purchasing the Service Awards items exclusively from an outside vendor, but now we are pleased to include items from our partnership with GROW Studios in Ottawa, Ontario and Wood n Needle in Waldheim, Saskatchewan. We want to thank the people who choose our services for sharing their gifts with us.

You can view the new catalogue on CHconnect click here. For your next milestone anniversary (every 5 years) you may choose a gift from the section of the milestone year you are celebrating.

For orders, please contact your district recruitment specialist or district admin clerk. If you are celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2020, please provide your selection to them to submit no later than December 1st, 2020. Items from GROW and Wood n’ Needle may be delayed due to the pandemic but will be delivered when available.

As part of Christian Horizons Commitments to Employees, we are committed to honouring your years of service and expressing our appreciation for your hard work and dedication over the years. Thank you for your continued work and your commitment to Christian Horizons!

In 2020, we celebrate with 511 employees across the organization.

For all service awards questions please reach out to us at serviceawards@christian-horizons.org.
