Grandview Kids receives 11 MarCom Awards

We are proud to share that Grandview Kids’ Communications and Family Engagement teams have been awarded 11 MarCom Awards for 2026, including three platinum and four gold awards!

MarCom Awards is an international creative competition that recognizes outstanding achievement by marketing and communication professionals. These prestigious awards honour the best work in communications and marketing worldwide.

Our small, mighty four-person Communications Team works hard to provide Grandview Kids clients, families and team members with meaningful communications. Through recognition of our Gather newsletter, client and family stories, Annual Report and many other materials, the awards reflect the team’s passionate work to elevate Grandview Kids’ brand, identity and impact in our community.

The team’s award-winning work is made possible through their close collaboration with our nationally recognized Family Engagement Team (FET). Our FET, comprised of caregivers and siblings to Grandview clients and former clients, enables many of our communications and marketing products. From the client stories written and coordinated by the FET’s Ambassador Advisor to leading the creation of our innovative Adolescent Transition Program Toolkit, the FET is a key, highly valued partner to our Communications portfolio.

A wide range of our work has been recognized by the MarCom Awards this year, including:

Our engaging social media content that connects our community to Grandview Kids, helping them understand who we are and what we do.
Our book “A Place Where Everyone Belongs: A Grandview Kids story,” which helps those we serve see themselves represented.
Our Ability Acceptance Presentation, which offers local businesses, schools, licensed child care centres and community groups knowledge to enhance their understanding and acceptance of all abilities and promote inclusive practices.
