John Candiotto

John Candiotto has been involved with the Children’s Foundation Granting Committee since early in its existence when it was known as the Stephen Promoli Memorial Fund in the 1980s. This committee is responsible for allocating funds to children in Guelph and Wellington whose families can not afford to pay for their recreational activities like sports or music lessons. Since the 80s, John has remained a dedicated supporter of the Children’s Foundation Grants initiative. Those who have worked with him respect what he brings to the committee and note that he has always been concerned with fairness and brings a gentle and kind approach to the granting process. Over the years he has been an invaluable member of the committee.

Mr. Candiottoe was recognized for this dedication when he was awarded with the Children's Foundation's Volunteer of the Year Award in 2009.
