PLANNING AND ANALYSIS
After getting the appropriate EDS approvals, Stephen pitched the media partnership idea
to CJOH-TV, thanks in part to its already significant community involvement (Appendix
B). After an internal discussion at their em,!, CJOH-TV agreed to the proposed exclusive
plan, and developed a "Hometown Helping Hand" charity search campaign to promote
the EDS volunteers' availability.
To reach the intended audiences, the following overall objectives were developed:
•
•
•
•
To raise internal awareness and secure volunteers through external means (i.e. media
coverage).
To select worthy projects based on more defined criteria.
To promote corporate volunteerism both within EDS and in the business community
as a worthwhile endeavour.
To raise the EDS profile and to further enhance EDS' reputation as a good corporate
citizen.
COMMUNICATION
ie
During the two-week charity search, 16 charities, not-for-profits and other parties applied
for EDS volunteers (Appendix C and D). Seven of these requests were disqualified for
certain reasons, and nine charities were selected- of which seven participated - and on
October 13,2001, almost 300 EDS volunteers dispersed throughout the region to help.
As part of the coverage, EDS received four significant media stories and had more than
30 mentions in a two-week period on CJOH-TV -- a significant over-achievement on the
stated goal of receiving two media hits for the effort in total.
EVALUATION
Stephen's role in this project was the conception, implementation, measurement and
analysis ofthe project. This approach transformed the traditional Global Volunteer Day
initiative into a major event that inspired EDS employees and the local community to
become involved. In November, Stephen completed an evaluation of the project, and
included the lessons he learned from this year's project for senior managers (Appendix
E).

Global Volunteer Day Media Strategy

Stephen Heckbert, Director, EDS Canada Communications, Eastern Region
CASE STUDY
Almost 10 years ago, EDS began an organized volunteer program to expand EDS'
capacity to make a difference in the communities in which its employees lived and
worked. Thanks to its significant employee presence in hundreds of markets, EDS knew
it could make an impact globally with a focused, planned and committed approach to
volunteerism. In 1993, EDS established Global Volunteer Day as a planned activity, in
October, to emphasize to employees the need for their commitment to these communities.
For the last nine years, EDS employees in Ottawa have participated in Global Volunteer
Day. Traditionally, the employees worked with one charity, selected by a senior
executive, and a number of employees, ranging from a low of 20 to a high of 100,
volunteered to complete a project for the charity on the selected October day.
In July of2001, Stephen Heckbertjoined EDS Canada as the Director of
Communications for EDS Canada's Eastern Region. In this capacity, Stephen
automatically assumed the mantle as the Global Volunteer Day coordinator in Ottawa, to
•
be held in Ottawa on October 13,2001.
•
Stephen's role in this project was the conception, implementation, measurement and
analysis of the project. This approach transformed the traditional Global Volunteer Day
initiative into a major event that inspired EDS employees and the local community to
become involved.
RESEARCH PHASE
EDS in Ottawa grew significant in 2001, from 1,200 to almost 1,800 employees, thanks
to a new outsourcing arrangement with the Bank of Canada and the addition of more
employees to service existing clients. In researching the Global Volunteer Day project,
Stephen learned new employees were seeking a project that could create a sense of
•
attachment to EDS, particularly from the former Bank of Canada employees.
Among longer-serving EDS employees, Stephen learned that, while Global Volunteer
Day enjoyed strong support, there were a few concerns that needed to be addressed:
•
Too many volunteers were designated to the charity - Often the selected charity
could not occupy the time of all the volunteers. This left many EDS employees
feeling dissatisfied and disappointed that they did not truly make a difference for
the charity with the project.
•
No particular reason for choosing a charity - Each year, the charity was selected
without any input from employees and without any sense of what their particular
need was that made them more worthy. Although each cause was worthy,
employees felt there was no strategy in the selection process, and they felt that the
selection could be better.
•
•
Communication was too focused on the main downtown offices -- not enough
consideration was given to those employees who worked offsite at client sites, or
to those who worked in the EDS Data Centre off Baseline Road.
•
Through this feedback, gathered in a planned series of conversations with employees old
and new, Stephen felt the time was right for new ideas, and he
~ought counsel
from
previous organizers. No single previous organizer demonstrated a strong attachment to
their method, and Stephen received their commitment that they would support new
thinking.
Stephen knew there was room for growth -- of 1,200 employees and their families and
friends, only 100 people, on average, were volunteering for Global Volunteer Day, a
percentage of less than 10 per cent of employees alone.
MANAGEMENT BUY-IN
•
EDS management in Ottawa were pitched the idea in a meeting to discuss the plans for
Global Volunteer Day in August 2002, one month after Stephen started in his role with
the company. Stephen had to clearly identify all the benefits of the proposed changes,
but management's acceptance of the plan was immediate after that. Indeed, the plan was
then forwarded to other EDS offices by Nancy Voith, the company's senior vice-president
of communications for the Americas.
ANALYSIS STAGE
In an effort to improve and leverage the Global Volunteer Day activity in Ottawa,
Stephen developed a new communications plan and strategy for EDS in Ottawa for the
day (Appendix A). The new plan proposed that EDS Ottawa broaden its scope, help a
variety of charities instead of one and partner with a major media outlet to find the
•
charities that wanted and could use EDS volunteers on October 13. Stephen then
•
researched the local media market and determined that the right approach would be to
CJOH-TV, the local CTV affiliate and market leader.
Several other alternatives were considered, including:
•
Offer incentives to volunteers
•
Trading time off for Global Volunteer Day participation
•
Partner with media outlet to help choose charities
•
Get identifiable spokesperson for internal meeting to drum up support (Donovan
Bailey?)
•
Involve other local residents not affiliated with EDS
Of these, only the partnership with the media outlet to choose charities would retain the
low-cost, maximum benefit model upon which Global Volunteer Day rested. Giving
•
employees time off for participation would lessen the team aspect, and would add a cost
to EDS, while others would lessen the EDS external benefit.
Part of the challenge related to Global Volunteer Day has to do with EDS' structure.
Because EDS is based on four distinct lines of business with individual reporting, and
because of the individualized nature of each project team, there are few opportunities for
company-wide involvement. That's why the organization task fell to the marketing and
communications organization, because it was one of a select group of support
organizations that crossed all lines of business.
Add to that mix the knowledge that the marketing and communications organization in
•
Ottawa consisted of one person, and the scope of the challenge increases. Prior to 200 I,
•
leveraging of the event consisted of calling media the day of the event to ask for
coverage, which had some success but which did not create sustained interest internally
or externally.
Another alternative was not to change the program in Ottawa at all, but the belief among
senior managers was that participation would fall over time, and it was also felt EDS
would be missing an opportunity to build a strong sense of EDS ownership among the
new employee groups.
However, Stephen saw this as an opportunity to raise EDS' profile as a corporate citizen
externally with the existing Global Volunteer Day initiative, and he saw CJOH-TV as the
perfect fit for this. Therefore, the plan consisted of two key phases: Phase One - Media
•
Proposal and Partnership, and Phase Two - Global Volunteer Day Initiatives.
These two phases would both address three opportunities:
•
Opportunity 1: increase employee participation
•
Opportunity 2: involve more charities, help more people
•
Opportunity 3: bring awareness to EDS, increase corporate citizen profile
In conjunction with those opportunities, the following overall objectives were developed:
•
To raise internal awareness and secure volunteers through external means (Le. media
coverage)
•
To select worthy projects based on more defined criteria
•
To promote corporate volunteerism both within EDS and in the business community
as a worthwhile endeavour
•
•
To raise the EDS profile and to further enhance EDS' reputation as a good corporate
citizen
•
Stephen then analyzed whether CJOH-TV would face a conflict of interest related to this
effort, and while other organizations had attempted similar volunteer efforts in Ottawa in
the past, they had not previously sought charity "applications" for help in a manner to be
proposed to CJOH through this.
To begin the relationship, Stephen used a bid on a charity auction (Executives on
Auction) to reestablish contact with CJOH-TV's assignment editor, Paul Brent. While
the bid did not actually result in the contact as planned, it provided Stephen with a means
of opening the dialogue with CJOH-TV about the proposal.
After getting the appropriate EDS approvals, Stephen pitched the media partnership idea
•
to CJOH-TV, thanks in part to its already significant community involvement (Appendix
B). After an internal discussion at their end, CJOH-TV agreed to the proposed exclusive
plan, and developed a "Hometown Helping Hand" charity search campaign to promote
the EDS volunteers' availability.
One of the key elements that made the project successful was the exclusivity of the
arrangement offered to CJOH-TV. While Stephen knew that would almost ensure other
organizations would not pick up news of the Global Volunteer Day event, EDS
understood the benefit outweighed that risk, and Stephen issued a news release in an
attempt to give media an opportunity to write or report on the partnership. No other
•
media outlet ran anything out of that release.
•
COMMUNICATION PHASE
During the two-week charity search, 16 charities, not-for-profits and other parties applied
for EDS volunteers (Appendix C and D). Seven of these requests were disqualified for
certain reasons, and nine charities were selected- of which seven participated - and on
October 13,2001, almost 300 EDS volunteers dispersed throughout the region to help.
Although the objective of Global Volunteer Day was to promote corporate volunteerism
at EDS and at other companies, and not to maximize media coverage, the reaction to the
EDS/CJOH-TV "Hometown Helping Hand" campaign was phenomenal. EDS Ottawa
proved to have the strongest EDS Global Volunteer Day in terms of total numbers of
employees participating, percentage of employees participating, and amount of coverage
•
generated for EDS (Appendix D).
EDS' Global Volunteer Day partnership with CJOH-TV publicized the day more
effectively, thereby increasing the internalllbuzz ll about the event by adding some public
pressure to the employees to make the day successful. Indeed, in the launch interview
Stephen went on air promising 300 employees and their friends and family would be
available, and EDSers knew they had to deliver.
Employees said they felt II proud ll when they saw the organization they worked for visibly
helping the community. The extensive coverage offered by CJOH-TV also brought more
awareness ofEDS to local residents, who would not normally think ofEDS given the
•
company's lack of involvement in the consumer marketplace.
•
AUDIENCES
Each phase of the new strategy had an intended audience. In phase one, CJOH-TV was
the intended audience because the objective was to partner with a major media outlet.
CJOH-TV was chosen of all the local stations as it has the largest local market reach and
is already significantly involved in the community.
In phase two, the intended audience shifted to EDS employees, their families, charities,
other not-for-profit organizations, other media outlets and local residents. Stephen
believed these audiences would be impacted in the following ways:
•
Employees and their families would see the news stories and increase their
involvement in the effort and would also feel increased pride in the company
•
•
Charities and not-for-profit organizations would increase their awareness of EDS and
would also want to take advantage of this opportunity to complete specific projects
•
Other media outlets would be watching the CJOH news and would increase their
knowledge of EDS' corporate commitment to Ottawa, making other potential pitches
easier in the medium- to long-term, and
•
Ottawa residents who saw the Global Volunteer Day news stories on CJOH-TV
would develop more positive feelings about EDS and the company's presence in the
community.
To back up employee communication efforts, Stephen arranged for and sent out a variety
of emails and other communications to employees (Appendix E).
BUDGET
•
•
Although Global Volunteer Day does not require a large budget to implement, several
other challenges were faced throughout the planning and implementation process. As a
new EDS employee, one enormous challenge was for Stephen to familiarize himself with
EDS' culture almost immediately.
EVALUATION PHASE
Global Volunteer Day 2001 at EDS was clearly a success. In the Global Volunteer Day
communications plan, the media coverage proposed that CJOH-TV might provide
included two spots - one to announce the charity search and one to announce the winners
(Appendix F). Between September and November 2001, CJOH-TV aired four stories
with direct reference to EDS' Global Volunteer Day activity, and included a mention of
•
EDS on more than 30 news broadcasts reminding charities to submit requests to the
Hometown Helping Hand project (Appendix G), compared to two media hits in 2000 for
Global Volunteer Day -- one on CJOH-TV, one in the Ottawa Citizen.
Success was also measured through the significant increase in employee participation.
Almost 300 EDS employees, family members and friends volunteered across the region,
an increased of 150 per cent from 2000. Also, many EDS employees and members of the
selected charitable organizations offered feedback in the form of letters, electronic
messages, cards and certificates after the event (Appendix H and I).
•
•
Finally, success was measured by the response Stephen received to other volunteer
requests from organizations that asked for help outside of the Global Volunteer Day
criteria, such as Reach (Appendix 1).
LESSONS LEARNED
Next y~ar's EDS Global Volunteer Day will proceed in a similar manner; however, this
year's experience has encouraged several changes. Some of these changes include
choosing fewer charitable organizations and placing greater efforts on recruitment and
maintaining volunteers. Although there were enough volunteers to staff each project in
2001, managing eight charities is a challenge in itself. Each charity needs special
attention to make sure their needs are met. Also, a shift-work style system should be
•
implemented to better fit the needs of EDS volunteers.
EDS and CJOH will also develop a written set of criteria through which to evaluate
proposals to ensure that charities and not-for-profits can be given better guidelines for
requests in 2002.
Volunteer recruitment is a challenge in any organization and even though EDS Ottawa
almost tripled the number of EDSers and family members involved in Global Volunteer
Day in 2001, maintaining volunteers for next year means making more options available
and keeping volunteers content and involved. These changes will help ensure the most
effective use of volunteers' time and that every charity selected has a completed project
at the end of the day.

GLOBAL VOLUNTEER DAY 2001
EDSOTTAWA
COMMUNICATIONS PLAN
AUGUST 2001
NEW GLOBAL VOLUNTEER DAY INITIATIVE IN OTIAWA
For the last nine years, EDSers in Ottawa have participated Global Volunteer Day
activities, and these activities have helped a number of local charities. This year,
however, EDS Ottawa will broaden its scope, help a variety of charities and partner with
a major media outlet to find the charities that want and can use EDS volunteers on
October 13,2001.
GLOBAL VOLUNTEER DAY BACKGROUND
•
EDS began investigating an organized volunteer program in response to a growing
interest in expanding EDS' corporate volunteer presence globally as the employee base
grew abroad. EDS had several objectives in forming this program, including recognizing
the commitment of our employees' year-round volunteer efforts in our communities;
mobilizing new employee volunteers as well as their families, friends, and clients;
developing a global volunteerism model that could be used by other multinational
companies; and strengthening EDS's public profile and reputation locally, nationally, and
globally.
EDS knew it could make a real impact on our communities by the sheer size of our
employee volunteer base. It also gathered information that showed that volunteerism has
many business benefits including enhanced corporate awareness and branding, improved
employee morale, better teamwork skills, and increased opportunities for personal and
professional growth.
Global Volunteer Day is designed to be a low-cost or no-cost project. All activities
emphasize people involvement, not monetary power; and each local account or team
absorbs any money spent on an activity. By participating in the day, employees benefit
through team-building exercises and leadership development opportunities. Additionally,
this creates an environment of personal fulfillment for employees while making a
difference in the community.
Finally, this program supports EDS' Global Community Affairs strategic plan, which ties
community activities to EDS' business objectives. To have a major impact around the
world, we must demonstrate the presence and involvement of a good corporate citizen.
Just as EDS strives to be a supplier of choice, employer of choice, and investment of
choice, we also want to be a neighbor of choice.

Global Volunteer Day plan for Ottawa
Hi James,
As we discussed earlier, I have approached CJOH-TV to partner with them to get some exposure for our Gloval Volunteer
Day activity, and I presented then with the argument that we needed to pUblicize the event to ensure we got the right kinds
of charities looking for this number of volunteers: ifs not easy to plan to use 200 people, and we want to make sure we've
got the right projects.
We selected SJOH because it is the largest television station in this market and the best way of reaching our intended
audience.
CJOH loved the idea, and they have agreed to promote our activity in the following ways:
•
•
•
•
•
We will launch our campaign Monday, Sepl17, with a call for local community organizations looking for a helping
hand to email or fax us with their requests. We'll make that call for requests during a live, in-studio interview on CJOH.
We will also issue a news release announcing the partnership with CJOH, in conjunction with them, to inform other
media outlets of the effort.
For the next two weeks, CJOH will feature a still, in every newscast (1 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.) on the Global
Volunteer Day request for submissions - the still will feature our logo and CJOH's side by side, and will have a
voiceover on the initiative.
On October 4, we will pick the winning agency (agencies), and we will inform them on October 5. Then, on October 8
(Thanksgiving Monday), we will be featured again in a story on how we chose the winner and thanking all those who
asked.
Then, of course, CJOH will cover the GVD event on October 13, wherever it is.
e station is very excited, and I think it will give us great visibility and allow us to do great work this Global Volunteer Day.
e nightly audience for CJOH is 300,000+, so lots of people in Ottawa will know what EDS is doing for the community.

Hi Stephen;
CJOH would like to pursue this proposal. I would like to set up a brief meeting and introduce you to some of the people
here in our operation and meet you face to face.
Is there are best day and time for you to come to CJOH? From our end, 2pm is a bit of a quiet time.. the midday rush is
over, our afternoon editorial meeting is over and the rush to 6pm news has not yet started. Any day is fine.
What I think we would likely do is talk about;
- some ideas on how to launch and present this on air for maximum impact and exposure for both parties - put in place
the people who would handle the responses.
- we would repeat the details of the offer, on air, prior to an agreed
upon deadline day
- then we announce the agencies chosen to receive your services
- then cover the event when it happens in October
It also gives us a good list of contacts and agencies seeking help in our community and that is something we might be able
to use in the future in terms of bringing a need together with someone who those who can help.
You mention TIm Horton's, we are already workinQ with them on a regular weekly feature, ·Children Firsr, would they have
any interest in getting formally involved as some kind of sponsor of this?
This is just some talking points for us to get moving on and make some decisions so we can get this on the air.
Thanks for suggesting the idea and offering it to CJOH.

Subject HI Paull
Hi,
We haven't been able to get together yet for the Executives on Auction event, but I thought I'd try to touch base with you
on something else while ifs on my mind.
Every year for the past number of years, EDS has organized a "Global VQlunteer Day. D On that day, staff get involved with
a charity to help with a project of some kind, and we always have a good turnout - 100 people last year helped out.
Indeed, your news organization bas been very graciQus in providing coverage for the activity each year, SQ thank you for
that
But here's the thing-we don't think we're making the mQst effective use of our time, because we're not finding out about all
those efforts that could use 150+ people to help with a certain activity. Thafs something we'd like to change this year, and
we think CJOH can help, if you're interested.
We'd like to partner with you to find charities that want and can use our help. Your role in this would be as follows:
•
•
We would announce the GIQbal Volunteer Day charity search on CJOH with an interview or a story
Someone from CJOH (your choice) would join two people from EDS Canada (me plus one other person) in choosing
one or two projects that will have the most merit in Ottawa
We'll announce the winning project(s) on CJOH and invite anyone else interested in helping to join us.
•
Obviously, we wouldn't talk to anyone else in the media about this.
e
lobal Volunteer Day is October 13 for EDS (the Saturday after Thanksgiving), and we give out T-shirts to all our staff and
, those who accompany them. We bave also typically gotten support from Tim Hortons for the event
I hafs a quick overview. If you are interested in this germ of an idea, give me a call or reply by email, and we can work otu
further details.
Thanks, and look forward to your feedback.

Global Volunteer Day Media Strategy
November 2001
TO:
Ross Graham
James Toccacelli
FROM:
Stephen Heckbert
DATE:
November 30,2001
RE:
Success of Global Volunteer Day media strategy
Although the objective of Global Volunteer Day was to promote corporate volunteerism
at EDS and at other companies, and not to maximize media coverage, the reaction to the
EDS/CJOH-TV "Hometown Helping Hand" campaign was phenomenal. EDS Ottawa
proved to have the strongest EDS Global Volunteer Day in terms oftotal numbers of
employees participating, percentage of employees participating, and amount of coverage
generated for EDS.
•
We took advantage of the program to raise EDS' profile as a corporate citizen, both
internally and externally, with the existing Global Volunteer Day initiative. Global
Volunteer Day has always been popular with a certain group of EDS employees, but
there were a couple of reasons why the new strategy was required:
I. The company had a new group of almost 500 employees who had just joined EDS in
August, and these employees -- transferred in an outsourcing arrangement with the
Bank of Canada -- were very eager to participate in activities.
2. EDSers wanted to have more options for participation, and employees promised that
they would get involved if they could have more choices and more charities who
needed help.
EDS' Global Volunteer Day partnership with CJOH-TV publicized the day more
effectively, thereby increasing the internal "buzz" about the event by adding some public
pressure to the employees to make the day successful. Indeed, in the launch interview
Stephen went on air promising 300 employees and their friends and family would be
available, and EDSers knew they had to deliver.
Perhaps most importantly, from a communications perspective it has established us with
a good relationship with the leading local news organization. Indeed, the feature on
corporate volunteerism on EDS would not have happened without CJOH's involvement
in the Global Volunteer Day initiative, and I have already been discussing further story
ideas with Paul Brent thanks to this. Thanks to both of you for your support ofthis
initiative.

Hi Stephen;
CJOH would like to pursue this proposal. I would like to set up a
brief
meeting and introduce you to some of the people here in our operation
and
meet you face to face.
Is ~here are best day and time for you to come to CJOH? From our
end,
2pm is a bit of a quiet time .. the midday rush is over, our afternoon
editorial meeting is over and the rush to 6pm news has not yet star~ed.
Any
day is fine.
What I think we would likely do is talk about;
•
** some ideas on how to launch and present this on air for maximum
impact
and exposure for both parties
** put in place the people who would handle the responses.
** we would repeat the details of the offer, on air,
prior to an agreed
upon deadline day
** then we announce the agencies chosen to receive your services
** then cover the event when it happens in October
It also gives us a good list of contacts and agencies seeking
help in
our community and that is something we might be able to use in the
future in
terms of' bringing a need together with someone who those who can help.
:cu mention Tim Horton's, we are already working with them C~ a
regular ~eekly feature, "Children First", would they have any interest
in
getting =ormally involved as some kind of sponsor of this ?
T~is is just some talking points for us to get moving on and
some decisions so we can get this on the air.
7~anks
for suggesting the idea and offering it to CJOH.
Paul

Helping Hand
Subject: EDS Volunteers
Please accept this application for "Helping Hand" volunteers. Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion
needs to repaint the entire inside of our building. The building is approximately 70' by 35' contained in one room with a
12' ceiling. Our members are generally quite elderly (75 - 90+) and it is difficult to see them up on ladders scrubbing
and painting the concrete block walls. The hall has not been painted in some years and is now starting to look shabby.
Let me take a minute to describe our branch. We are a small legion branch. with about 210 members. We are entirely
volunteer in operation and are not a "working" branch. By that I mean that the bar is only open for Friday night darts
and other selected legion functions. and for hall rentals by private individuals and groups (several times a month). It is
not open on a daily basis. nor do we wish it to be. But.... we are an active branch. Every weekday morning at 10 AM
you might expect to see 20 or more members having coffee and conversation. Monday, Wednesday and Friday
mornings our branch sponsors a one hour exercise class for senior citizens. Our branch also has an active Club 55 for
seniors as well. Wednesday afternoons the branch is open for organized whist and Friday nights is an open Dart
League, followed by card games. In the summer we have 2 BBQs a month and every Tueday night year round is bingo,
open to all. Last Saturday night our members organized and presented a "Murder Mystery Night", enjoyed by all. We
have just completed a handicapped washroom for those needing such facilities. In short. we are much more of a
community organization than one might expect when talking about a legion branch.

Should you wish more information. please contact the president ofBranch 625, Bob Johnson at 489-4295 or at

To Whom It May Concern:
Ottawa Area Girl Guides is in need of assistance with our Camp. Camp Woolsey is situated on the ottawa
River at Crown Point (near Constance Bay). Ottawa Area Girl Guides covers the Ottawa Carleton region, and
provides a year round campsite facility to members and friends of Guiding. We run a 6 week summer camp
and the facilities are used throughout all other seasons. We try to keep our camp fees affordable for all girls
as our members come from various income families. It is vital to our camp that we are able to draw on
volunteers to assist with camp maintenance, as volunteers have less time to give. Most of our volunteers
work on a weekly basis with our youth members and extend themselves to take the girls on outings and to
camp.
We are in urgent need ofE:oIUnlfl'" to help us with some of our ongoing work. The docks at ourwaterfront
require a team of people 20-30 0 remove them from the water and put them in the storage area. One of our
highly used bUildings is in Ire need of painting, and with many hands this could be done in a day. We
appreciate your consideration with our request and would be happy to be a recipient of some of the EDS
volunteers. Should we be a candidate, please contact the Chair of the Camp Woolsey Committee, Karen
pynn at 821-8888.
Sincerely,
Debbie Fiener

FITZROY HARBOUR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario
KOA lXO
•
During the course of OOH's Newsline, October 1, I took note of the "EDSHometown Helping Hand" information. I have a project which I think might be
of interest.
My name is Ted Devine and I am President of the Fitzroy Harbour
Community Association. The Village of Fitzroy Harbour is located at the western
edge of the newly amalgamated City of Ottawa. The Community Association is a
registered non-profit organization and the Community Centre is the hub of village
activity. Many groups make use of our faolity including the Ubrary, Seniors,
SCouts, Guides and sports groups, etc., etc.
Of particular pride to the Association is the outdoor rink, completed in the
fall of 1999 with hundreds of hours of volunteer work. The rink is used year
round; skating and hockey during the winter and skateboarding and basketball in
the summer. The rink has and continues to be a very successful addition to the
Community Centre.
The surface of the rink, unlike most outdoor rinks, is concrete, which adds
about a month of use to our winter programs. Upon completion of the pouring
of the concrete, expansion joints were cut into the surface to prevent frost from
heaVing it. Originally these joints were caulked with a rubber-based product
which, unfortunately, caused problems with the ice. This material has been
removed and we are now faced with re-caulking the joints using a different
product. This then is the project I am pitching to the Hometown Helping Hands
group. The work is not difficult, but somewhat labour intensive. Being a small
community, our volunteer pool is limited and we could use some helping hands.
The October 13 date fits nicely with the preparations we are making for the
winter season.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this project. I include my
e-mail address and telephone number should you wish to discuss any details of
my proposal.
Sincerely,
•

FITZROY HARBOUR, ONTARIO
KOAIXO
Steve,
Preparations are well underway at our end for Saturday October 13,2001.
•
I. Coffee will be available in the morning. Also, the Fitzroy Harbour Community
Association will provide a barbeque (hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages plus
liquid refreshments) at lunchtime. This will, ofcourse, be 'on the house' and will,
we hope, show our appreciation for the volunteer hours provided by EDS
employees.
2. The caulking material has been purchased, as have the trowels, etc. necessary to
apply it. Work gloves will be provided by the Association. Volunteers should be
advised to wear 'work clothes', as in 'not your favorite pair ofjeans'. I have also
arranged for a couple of volunteers on our end to demonstrate the mixing and
application of the caulking to the EDS group.
3. We have prepared a detailed map (including mileage) with the directions to the
Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre. This I will have to fax to you and will
hopefully get everyone here safe and sound. Could you call with a fax number,
please.
4. What, do you feel, would be a reasonable time to get to work? As our volunteers
all live nearby, I'll leave it up to you. As a note, travel time from Bayshore would
be about 25-30 minutes. Please let me know so I can co-ordinate our end.
5. That's about all I can think of, except of course, to hope for the weather to cooperate. Any other questions please e-mail or telephone.
Regards,
Ted Devine

The Orleans Preschool needs volunteers for a playground project. After our annual playground safety
inspection last year, we found that our play structure will need to be replaced and plan are underway to fund
raise for that project, but another area which needed repair was a sheltered sandbox area. The roof needs to
be removed from this shelter and a new "sunscreen" material roof put on. Also, around the sandbox area
(about 10 feet by 10 feet) the ground needs to be dug up and leveled. Does this sound like something that
your volunteers would be interested in doing? We are a non-profit, charitable, co-operative nursery school
which has been serving the needs of families in Gloucester for over 20 years.
Thank you, in advance, for considering our request.

Hi Mr. Brent,
•
The community coordinator at Heartwood House: au coeur de la vie has
sent in
an application for the EDS volunteers. But whether Heartwood House is
chosen
for that or not, I wanted to discuss with you the possibility of sharing
information with your viewers about the entire project, which is an
incredible bit of news that has yet to be shared on local television
(CaO
Morning did a small piece last week).
Heartwood House is a new collaborative of 8 local non-profit
organizations
that have partnered with the Beth Shalom Synagogue to turn the former
Jewish
Community Centre building at 153 Chapel Street into a lively community
for
the many citizens of Ottawa who are served by the groups in question.
This
includes people with various disabilities, new Canadians who are
acquiring
language skills, young people with eating disorders, and more.
The building had been dormant for 2 years, and needed a lot of work. The
synagogue is investing over $100,000 to repair the roof and other
exterior
problems, and the groups have taken on responsibility for renovating the
22,000 sf interior. This is all being done by volunteers, without one
penny
of taxpayer money, and you would not believe what has been accomplished
in
little more than two months.
Represen~ing the LiveWorkPlay organization I had an interview with Leigh
Chapple on July 3, and briefly mentioned that we were moving on August
1. I
am the interim media spokesperson for Heartwood House, and it would be
wonderful if I could return with an update about what is happening here
•
:it
153 Chapel Street.
We are having a huge Grand 0gening event on October 25. Everyone is
invited.
There will be clowns, music, ~reats, and all sorts of fun surpr~ses.
•
This
Will also be an Open House for the 8 member organizations, as well as
the
first Heartwood House community project, which is a unique Art Gallery.
In
the case of the gallery and some of the member organizations, they are
opening their doors for the first time, so we are doing are best to make
the
Ottawa community aware of their services.
Here is a link to the website http://www.heartwoodhouse.ca which
includes a
listing of all the member groups. You will see there the Heartwood House
logo ... part of the Open House will be the unveiling of a giant version
of
the logo in the building's lobby. It was painted by Caroline Matte, a
young
lady with a developmental disability and a participant in a LiveWorkPlay
program in the building.
It has been a thrill to be part of all of this, and I think CJOH viewers
will be very interested in the project as well as the services offered
by
all of the groups involved.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more informa~ion.
For
your convenience, I can be reached directly almost any time at 294-0017.

Hello
Sorry to bother you again but I just wanted to mention that if we have a surplus of volunteers I have another
organization that could use 10 volunteers. The Hospice at Maycourt (where we held GVD 2000) is having their fall
clean up day this Saturday from 9:00 - noon. I can provide further information if needed.

Attn: Helping Hand
In!!!!!!! My name is Gwendy Jones and I am the childcare supervisor at the BlackStar Community
Resource Centre. We are a charitable and non-profit organization assisting mostly low-income people and/or
newcomers to Canada in the Ottawa area. We offer a variety of programs including language instruction
(English as a Second Language), a youth program. pre-employment skills development programs, employment
assistance program, sewing and home economics program, life/parenting skills programs, referral and
settlement, as well as providing cultural and translation needs for our clients and others.
•
One of unique services that our organization provides is our Childcare and Learning Development Centre.
This program was originally intended to provide childcare to parents attending language instruction classes,
however, because of greater need, we find ourselves doing much more. Many of our children are newcomers to
Canada and therefore, may have not enjoyed the high quality of health care that Canadian children do. Many do
not speak English or French and are experiencing the trauma of culture shock when they arrive at the childcare.
We are also finding that parents remain enrolled in their classes for long periods of time, in some instances, over
3 years. This means that their children are not eligible for other subsidized daycare and preschool programs and
are in our daily care for most oftheir fonnative years.
Because ofthe needs that these children have, we have developed a successful childcare program, one that
provides an enriched and caring environment. The children benefit from this care by being better able to adjust
to living in Canada and by being better prepared to enter into elementary school.
•
Because of a long waiting list, our organization has begun to expand our childcare services. We, like so
many non-profit groups, are on an extremely limited budget and although my staff and I have worked very hard
to create a wonderful environment in our childcare, there are a few projects that we cannot manage without
professional assistance. The purpose of this letter is to request your help. Our childcare rooms are heated with
electric baseboard heaters, the type commonly found in homes. These hC1lters are too accessible to the children
and therefore, are dangerous. We need to have them covered but stilrremain useful in \vinter. We also need to
have a cubby-type area built for the children to have a place of their own to store their things. I also have two
smaller projects close to my heart. I have two large pieces of plexiglass that I would like to tum into paint easels
and I also have a water play basin that has lost its stand. It would be wonderful for the children to have these
paint and water play areas. If you could assist us with anyone of these projects. we would be most grateful.
0f.'5~For further information regarding this request. do not hesitate to contact me at (613) 248-8229 Thank you
in advance for your kind consideration.

Home Town Help Hand
The Palliative Care Outreach Program
I would like to introduce myself to you. I am Ruth Cameron and I am the
tundraising chairman for The Palliative Care Outreach Program. I am not
sure what you are offering as I heard about you second hand. I will give
you an outline of our charity below.
PROGRAM OUTLINE
Palliative Care is a multi-dlsclplinary service which provides
compassionate care to persons with terminal illness. The team sees
patients In a clinical setting or in their own homes. Its aim Is to enhance
quality of life and to help patients live as fully as possible.
The primary goal of palliative care is to provide pain and symptom
control. Sensitive and skilled care is provided to meet the physical,
psychological and spiritual needs of both the patient and the family.
This multi-disciplinary team approach to palliative care provides:
symptom management; patient and family consultation, support and education,
counseling, pastoraVspiritual care, help with Mure planning, bereavement
follow up and community education.
•
--
We strongly believe that the dying person has the right to: live with
hupport, care and love; be treated as a living human being until hlslher
death; be free from pain; participate in decisions concerning hislher care;
have questions answered honestly; expect continuing medical and nursing
attention with hislher comfort as the number one goal; be cared for by
caring, sensitive, knowledgeable people who will attempt to understand
hislher needs and will help himlher to live life to the fullest; retain
hislher indiViduality and not be judged for decisions which may be contrary
to beliefs of others; die in peace with dignity.
At some point in our lives, we are all touched by terminal illness.
The need for community based palJiativecare is increasing due to an aging
population, health care restructuring and hospital bed closures. Several
hundred patients and families currently benefit from our program. Please
remember we are not funded by hospitals or government.

hoping will do well. We are going to be needing alot of help with this. We
want to involve the high schools accross Ottawa and have a rock-n-bowl and
have a separate time for regular bowling.

Helpinghand to non-profit Organizations
To whom it may concern:
I am submitting this on behalf of the Board of
Directors of Epilepsy Ottawa-Carletog; We are a
non-profit OIgafilzadon helping those With epilepsy
and their family, friends and co-workers.
There are approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in our
community of Ottawa-Carleton that have Epilepsy.
Someone you know may have this disorder.
Epilepsy is a chronic seizure disorder which may
negatively affect the learning and social growth of
children. It is a disorder which may negatively
affect the employment capabilities, lifestyle, and
financial security of adults with epilepsy.
•
Epilepsy Ottawa-Carleton is a registered non-profit
group and is the only organization in our community to
ffer infonnation, support and resource material to
hose people in our community with a seizure disorder.
Jve have monthly meetings that provide the latest
infonnation presented by doctors, psychologists,
phannacists, lawyers and government officials, etc.
We have a small office manned by volunteers and a
partime staff person that diseminates information such
as pamphlets and brochures on epilepsy. Provides
in-service to assist and make more knowledgeable
people who are directly involved with those with
epilepsy such as teachers, employers, daycare workers,
etc. Provides infonnation on other organizations to
tum to for support. And especially provides a
leaning post.
I hope this will proVide enough information about our
organization. What we especially need is belp i n _
fundraising activitjes. We don't have the expertise
in this field and periiips there are some indiViduals
in this group with this knOWledge and knowhow.
_
Thank you for taking such an interest in non-profit
organizations since they can become the most
profitable for everyone involved in volunteering their
time and effort. Volunteering for myself personally,
in being a part of Epilepsy Ottawa-Carleton has been
ery rewarding.
(ours sincerly,

Global Volunteer Day update -- Our Plan for 2001
Hello,
First of all, thank you to everyone who has sent a note or has called to express interest in participating. Your
support of Global Volunteer Day is crucial to its success, and your keen interest already is a good sign for the
success of this year's event.
One ofthe big questions we've been asked is, what are we doing this year? The quick answer is, we don't know
yet, because we've come up with a new plan to broaden the scope of applications for Global Volunteer Day.
We've done this to make sure we get the most worthy projects and to ensure that the charities make the best use
. t h e large number ofEDSers that we expect will volunteer their time.
J we've partnered with CJOH-TV in a program to ask charities to submit applications to us letting us know
how they would use 5 to 200 volunteers for a day on October 13. Ifyou know of any charities that might be
interested, please ask them to watch CJOH on September 17 to find out how the application process will work.
We will evaluate all the requests and make a decision by October 9, then we will announce our choices on air.
This is a new experiment for us, but we will need a tremendous number of volunteers so that we can truly offer
local charities the best EDS has to offer. To that end, all EDS employees should recruit their friends, their
family and everyone else they know into our Global Volunteer Day effort this year. We need to provide
charities with a deep labour pool, so let's work together to make this the best Global Volunteer Day ever!
Please send me a note expressing your interest, and I will be in touch in the very near future to build preliminary
plans for teams in the Ottawa area. In particular, we're looking for coordinators from each of our five locations
and from each delivery team, so if you're interested in helping in that capacity, please contact me ASAP by
email at stephen,heckbert@eds,com or at 787-4664.
Thank you,
Stephen Heckbert

Global Volunteer Update
Une message en francais" suivera bientot.
Global Volunteer Day - Project overview
Good afternoon, everyone.
We've chosen our projects for Global Volunteer Day, and they're all worthy of assistance. The next step is for
those who haven't indicated their participation yet to let their local coordinators know their interest and to
commit to coming out on Global Volunteer Day, October 13.
First of all, let me say thank you to Rose Ireland, who helped us choose these worthy projects for this year's
Global Volunteer Day. It was fun, and I think we learned about the wide variety ofneeds there are out there in
our communities.
To fill all the projects, we need a minimum of 185 volunteers, but we should aim for 300 to ensure we will have
full shifts and lots of opportunity for those to help out where they can. If 100 EnS employees can come and
bring two people, that's all we need, so I know it's a commitment we can reach.
•
Here's the projects we've chosen, in no particular order:
"
Blackstar CommuDity Centre, 1800 Bank Sl (South Ottawa): The centre needs help with making their
Cbildcare and Learning Development Centre safe for children, and they also have a couple of other small repair
jobs to undertake. The centre serves mainly lower-income and newcomers to Canada, and it provides valuable
services in an area of the city that is home to a large number oflower-income and less-fortunate families. We
will need 15 volunteers for the day for this project, to be made up oftwo shifts (30 people) or a combination of
all-day attendees and shift people.
Camp Smitty, Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, Mink Lake (West): The camp, which hosts over 400
children and young people every summer, needs some TLC to prepare for winter and next spring. It needs
people who can use a rake, a chain saw, pruning saw or hand saw, as our team will help make sure the camp is
brought along so that kids attending the camp will have an even more enjoyable experience next year. The
camp is named in honour of former sportscaster and hockey player, Brian Smith. We will need 25 volunteers
who can devote a full day to this activity, since travel time makes it inconvenient to operate in shifts.
Transportation to and from the camp will be arranged, and this volunteer effort will be perfect for those who
love the outdoors.
Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre (West): This community centre has a need for volunteers to help get the
ice surface of the local outdoor rink ready for winter. The centre needs help rechaulking the joints that prevent
frost from heaving the ice. The centre and the rink are the centre of the community in wintertime, and the small
community needs some assistance \vith getting ready for the next season. We will ne~d 15 volunteers for this
activity, again to be made up of two shifts (30 people) or a combination of all-day attendees and shift people.
.e"
" -
a
Habitat for Humanity, Vanier (East): Habitat for Humanity has variety of needs as a results of a robbery
"and vandalism that occurred over the last weekend at their office on Montreal Road. They will need technical
help with their computer systems; "they will need data entry" help, and they will need general help as well. We
need 20 people for this activity,again to be made up of two shifts (40 people) or a combination of all-day
attendees and shift people.
..
~
. ".
••
_.~.
I
Hea~ood House, (Downtown): HeartWood House is a new f~ility bringing nine charitable groups together
.. under one roof. Those groups are: Aphasia Centre of Ottawa, English Language Tutoring of Ottawa and
Community, Halifax Initiative, LivePlayWork, People, Words and Change, Hopewell Eating Disorder Suppon
Pro~ Alternative Learning Styles and Outlooks Literacy Program and Project 301. They need to repaint the
house, and they will be working feverishly to get ready for the fall. We need 25 volunteers for this effort, to be
made up of two shifts (50 people) or a combination of all-day attendees and shift people.
•
Shepherds of Good Hope (Downtown): The Shepherds of Good Hope help 1,500 per day through their
Shelter, Soup Kitchen. Supportive Housing, Grocery or Evening Drop-In. They are asking for help with Fall
Cleaning of the facility and with more general support, and they will need 35 volunteers, to be made up of two
shifts (70 people) or a combination of all-day attendees and shift people.
Richmond Branch, Royal Canadian Legion, Richmond (West): The Richmond Branch of the Legion is an
important centre for members and seniors in the area, and the organization needs help with efforts that are
simply too much for their aging members to undertake. In particular, they need the inside of the building to
improve the atmosphere and make it better for those who rely on it We will need 15 volunteers for this
activity, to be made up of two shifts (30 people) or a combinationofall-day attendees and shift people.
Camp Woolsey, Ottawa Area Girl Guides Camp, CroWD Point (West): This project needs at least 10 ablebodied folks to help pull its docks from the water, and it also needs people willing to help repair and paint their
highly-used buildings. The camp is offered to girls from all income brackets, and it serves a very important
need for girls in the summer in the region. The project needs 20 to 30 people, ideally people who will be there
all day simply because of the nature of the work. We could, however, organize two shifts without much trouble.
Orleans Preschool, Orleans (East): The Orleans Preschool needs help with a playground project, as their
sheltered sandbox area needs repair and their grounds also have some needs. This project requires 15 people, to
be made up oftwo shifts (30 people) or a combination ofall-day attendees and shift people.
•
That's our list But there's one other request: for those more interested in helping out at night, the Kiwansis
Club is looking for 15 to 20 volunteers to help out at Octoberfest at the Aberdeen Pavilion from 5:30 on the
evening of October 13, and people should reply to me directly if they are interested in doing that instead ofa
daytime activity.
Again, please reply to your local coordinator to let them know your availability on Global Volunteer Day. We'll
be in touch again on Tuesday with further information.
.
Thanks again,
Stephen.

Global Volunteer Day
Hello,
Once again, thank you to all who participated in Global Volunteer Day on October 13. If, for some reason, you
couldn't or didn't participate on October, but you are volunteering at another activity, please ensure we find out
so we can tabulate it among the Global Volunteer Day total for EDS Canada So if you have or are going to be
volunteering your time in any activity during the month of October, please send an email to John Muir
<mailto:[email protected]> and include:
• the number of hours volunteered,
• the name of the organization, and
• if any other EDSers took part.
Also, for those of you who had been interested in volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, there's good news for
the charity: they don't need us. The charity, which had been rocked by a robbery earlier this mon~ is now
operational again, and they won't need any immediate assistance from EDS. Habitat has promised to be in
touch if any other volunteer opportunities come up in the future, and employees interested in helping out
somehow may want to contact Habitat directly.
•
On a personal note, I want to say that everyone at EDS in the National Capital Region has made my first year as
the Global Volunteer Day coordinator an enjoyable and happy experience. I want to thank all of those who
participated - your example, your commitment and your dedication is an inspiration to me, and you each
represent that which is best in the human spirit - the desire to help others. Best wishes for a happy autumn

Job very well done!
Hello David and David,
I wanted to let both of you know what a fantastic job Chris did for your team as CPC's coordinator for Global Volunteer
Day.
His enthusiasm for the job helped make up for the logistical problems I caused, and he led a great team who delivered for
the folks at Camp Woolsey.
He made a real difference, and I couldn't have done it without him. He's a real asset to EDSI
Thanks for making him available to us, and I look forward to your support again next year.
Stephen.

Hello Stephen
Thank you but I only wish I could have done more to help. As mentioned, the customer/work had to come first:
therefore. I could not take time off to help more while you were in Toronto.
I know we have both learned from this year's event and I am already looking forward to booking vacation days a
few weeks and a few days before GVD 2002. With a few days off, we can work together and make sure it is a
memorable GVD that will make EDSers proud to be a part of.

Terry and Bill,
I wanted to let both of you know what a fantastic job Rose did for your team as the Baseline representative for Global
Volunteer Day.
Her enthusiasm for the job helped make up for the logistical problems I caused, and she brightened everyone's day at the
Hospice at May Court.
More importantly, Rose was essential in providing me with good advice and great support at a time when that was critical.
She delivered. she made a real difference. and I couldn't have done it without her. She's a real trooper and a great asset
to EDS!
Thanks for making her available to us, and I look forward to your support again next year.

Stephen.
I would be honoured to attend. Thank you so much for all of your praise. Wow. I'm speechless. I've worked with EDS as
a consultant since 1998 (spent '98 - Jan '01 on CFRS then moved to NoC). I've only been an employee since Aug. 13/01.
You have made me feel really welcome and appreciated - it means a lot.
Thanks again for being at the centre of Global Volunteer Day and getting it off the ground. Being in Toronto last week
must have made things exponentially more difficult.
Cheers.

EDS, CJOH to partner to find charities in need of a
"Hometown Helping Hand"
O'ITAWA - EDS Canada, Ottawa's leading information technology services finn, and
CIOH-TV have partnered to promote Hometown Helping Hand, a program that will
match community and not-for-profit organizations with EDS employees, on October 13,
for significant projects that require many hands.
The two partners are inviting charities and community groups to submit applications to
CIOH at 613-274-4301, if they need a group of
volunteers for a specific activity on October 13. CIOH is promoting the event on its
award-winning 12 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 :30 p.m. newscasts, and EDS Canada employees
are volunteering to help fill the needs of the charities who will be selected.
[email protected] or to fax them to
•
"Companies like EDS give back to the community in so many ways, and we're pleased
we can help them find charities who need labour to accomplish these significant goals,"
says Max Keeping, CIOH anchor and Vice President of News and Public Affairs for
CIOH-TV. ''This program will help many people here in Ottawa, and it is our hope that
we will launch a new way for business and community groups to find each other."
Stephen Heckbert, director of communications for EDS Canada and the coordinator of
this program for the company, said this effort is part of the company's ninth annual
Global Volunteer Day. Since its inception in 1993, Global Volunteer Day has created an
impact in communities where EDS employees live and work. Over the years, EDS
volunteers have provided countless hours of community service on Global Volunteer Day
in an effort to improve communities around the world.
"We're excited about the prospects for this partnership," Heckbert said . ''Hundreds of
EDS employees in Ottawa will contribute their time to make a difference on October 13,
and we want to thank CJOH for working with us to find those who need help this year."

Hi Paul,
I'm going to drop out tomorrow with the item we give all EDSers for

I'd love ~o have a copy of the tape of what went to air, if you can do
it, and ~he raw tape too, since there will be folks impressed by that.
Take you~ time getting it made -- I can see a weekend editor making this

I'll let you know if there's anything else corning up that's newsworthy

on one
his charity talks to give them the corporate perspective, that
would be great.
