The Chance Centre Named Finalist in the Ontario Votes Award — Here’s How You Can Help
The Chance Centre has been named a finalist in the Meridian Credit Union Small Business Big Impact Awards, a province-wide initiative that recognizes organizations creating real, measurable change in their communities.
This recognition shines a light on the work we do every day in Brampton, creating inclusive employment and skill-building opportunities for neurodiverse and underserved youth and adults. From hands-on training to confidence-building experiences, our goal has always been simple but powerful: to help people move from isolation to opportunity.

Winners of the Meridian Credit Union Small Business Big Impact Awards are determined by public vote. That means every vote directly supports our mission and helps us continue building pathways to independence, dignity, and meaningful employment for the people we serve.
A Message from The Executive Director
“As the co-founder of The Chance Centre, this moment means so much to me. Every day, I get to witness quiet transformations, young people gaining confidence, adults learning new skills, and individuals who once felt overlooked discovering their strengths. Our work is about more than programs. It’s about belonging, dignity, second chances, and creating real pathways to independence and meaningful employment right here in Brampton.
Being recognized through the Meridian Credit Union Small Business Big Impact Awards helps us keep that work going. If you believe in second chances, community impact, and helping people move from isolation to opportunity, I invite you to take a moment to vote and support our work. Thank you for standing with us.” – Marlene Spence
