\ue003or United Way/Centraide Ottawa \u2013 change that
moved us into a new space, in more ways than one.
We launched the year with a move to a newphysical
space at 363 Coventry Road. More signi\ue001cantly, with the
hard work and support o\ue003 donors, volunteers, partners
and sta\ue000, 2006 also marked a number o\ue003 achievements
that represent the new space United Way/Centraide
occupies as a community building organization.

Our new headquarters o\ue000er a more central, accessible
location and provide much-needed meeting space that
has bene\ue001ted United Way/Centraide and the community
we serve. Our space is available \ue003or community groups
and agencies that need meeting \ue003acilities. When our

the year, we had the space we needed \ue003or many meetings
and consultations. And we are now expanding our
role as a convenor and host o\ue003 community groups and
organizations choosing to work with us and others to
ensure coordination o\ue003 service and program delivery and
to a\ue000ect social change. Our vision \ue003or our new home as
a true community space has become a reality.

We also moved closer to achieving our larger vision
\u2014 that our community will be measurably better as a
result o\ue003 the work o\ue003 United Way/Centraide and others.
With the deep and specialized knowledge o\ue003 our Impact

investments strategically in six impact areas. Tis was
