Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) proudly recognizes its long-serving staff members. At this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), CNH staff and contractors who have reached the milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service and dedication to the neighbourhood house, were thanked by the Board of Directors.
This year, we recognize and celebrate Najia Elacel for over 15 years of service!

Najia is a treasured member of our community. She currently works in the Families Branching Out Program and spent many years as a cook in the senior’s lunch program. Her passion for her work is evident in everything she does. Najia loves her role and the community she serves, and her greatest joy comes from bringing happiness to those around her.
Thanks to Najia’s incredible talent, hundreds of people have savoured her delicious meals over the past 10 years. Each dish she creates is infused with love and passion, making every bite a reminder of the warmth and joy she brings to us all.
Her dedication creates a ripple effect, touching the lives of many and reminding us all of the power of kindness and connection.
Congratulations, Najia, on this milestone and we look forward to celebrating many more to come with you!
