EKO’s Tribute Awards are the association’s oldest and most prestigious recognition, presented to individuals, organizations, and teams that have made lasting contributions to benefit kids with disabilities, their families, and all our communities.

“We are so proud of our Ontario colleagues who champion children’s development and ensure kids with disabilities and their families live their best lives,” says EKO CEO Jennifer Churchill. “It’s an honour to recognize and salute their accomplishments.”
