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 Soudabeh “Soudi” Babaie, one of our childcare workers, for over 25 years of service!

Soudi started as a childcare worker at CNH on Oct. 11, 1998. Today, she continues to work in childcare at the Duke Street Early Learning and Care Centre where her years of experience complement her compassionate nature.

Described as caring, considerate and understanding among her colleagues, Soudi is also known for her sweet, gentle and loving manner with the children in our programs. Soudi credits her 25+ years at CNH to the support of her colleagues and has built many deep relationships as a result. Soudi’s colleagues say she is equally supportive and like family to many of the childcare workers at CNH.

Soudi loves running, reading, hiking, sewing and knitting, and plans to travel more.

Congratulations, Soudi!
