In 2008, Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa (BBBSO) created its first Ambassador group. This group made up of Bigs, Littles, parents and other supporters is out in the community sharing stories and increasing awareness all year round. We have had Ambassadors speak at Parliament, during the United Way/City of Ottawa golf tournament, at various companies, during our Board Meetings and more.

BBBSO often receives last minute requests for speakers and a mass email goes out to see if anyone is available. Since the Ambassador program began, there has always been one match that can always be counted on.

This dynamic female duo are able to share their experience in a way that gives the crowd just a small taste of what it means to be a Big and a Little. They are humorous, energetic, not afraid to say "um" and unique.

We would like to congratulate Carrie Reid and Brianna McMahon as 2010 Ambassadors of the Year.

If you have a story to share about BBBSO we would love to hear it! Email thebig40@bbbso.ca to tell us how BBBSO made an impact in your life.
