Introduction

The Canadian Cancer Society Division Impact Awards Program is designed to encourage Divisions to recognize individuals and groups in a meaningful way for their contribution in the fight against cancer.

The program provides an opportunity to recognise recipients in a way that is consistent across all Divisions and is intended to reflect the continued esteem held for each recipient and their contributions, even as the Society changes and evolves.

The program will provide a platform to build on accomplishments and inspire recipients to strive for the highest honour across the Canadian Cancer Society that we can present to an individual or group: a National Impact Award for service in Public Policy, Program Delivery, Revenue Generation and Leadership.

Guiding Principles for Award Categories and Criteria

Canadian Cancer Society award categories and criteria will:

• assess the impact of the recipients contribution relative to the size and nature of said recipient community, province, country

• honour and remember those recipients whose actions have made a sustained, innovative and lasting impact on the Society

• recognize those who have significantly helped to further the mission of the Society and whose actions align with the strategic direction of the Society

• acknowledge those recipients who have engaged and motivated others towards a common vision or action

Some exceptions may apply if the individual or group has made contributions in a non-geographically specific role (example: Cancer Connection program) or when the scale of the impact made by the nominee warrants a divisional-level recognition first.

Her two years of treatment which included chemotherapy and radiation were stopped early due to the development of cardiomyopathy, a side effect from the chemotherapy. With a spirit much bigger than any disability, Jaye Dee gave herself wholeheartedly as a volunteer and staff member of the Canadian Cancer Society leading her team of youth to receive the National Circle of Distinction Award in 2001. That same year Jaye Dee was awarded the Canadian Cancer Society National Medal of Courage for exhibiting outstanding, unusual courage in her personal battle with cancer. In June 2003 Jaye Dee passed away due to complications of her journey with cancer.

A CCS Unit President said: “Jaye Dee is a cancer survivor…the treatments and medication took a toll on her heart. It’s just her physical heart that is affected. The “heart” we often use to

describe courage, tenacity, purpose in life is very strong and healthy in Jaye Dee. For this she has gained the admiration and respect of those who know her.”

The Jaye Dee Jeffrey award has been established in 2003 in memory Jaye Dee Jeffrey and the contributions she made to the BC & Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer Society as a volunteer and staff member. The award recognizes Jaye Dee’s courage, and the energy and passion she used to inspire youth to become involved in the cancer cause. This award is open to staff members or volunteers.
