2020 Mosaic Citizen of the Year Award Winner - John Ondusko

Mosaic’s Citizen of the Year is an annual program that recognizes a Mosaic employee who has made a meaningful contribution to the well-being of their community. We are delighted to announce the 2020 Mosaic Citizen of the Year Award goes to our Data Analytics & Integration Specialist, John Ondusko!

John was nominated for his efforts in running many fundraising events, usually involving the most delicious home-baked breads and BBQs. He not only donates all of the required ingredients and spends many hours preparing and delivering his items, but all proceeds from his fundraisers are directed to local community food banks in need. John has also done a few endurance motorcycle-rides where he would travel as far as 2400 kilometres over 24 hours, raising money for great causes.

“There are a lot of hurting people out on the coast, and for a lot of them it is through no fault of their own. I consider myself to be very fortunate, right place at the right time with the right support network. Folks at the food banks work pretty hard getting the help directly where it is needed, with no ulterior motive or obligation on the part of the folks using the service. My schedule doesn’t give me a lot of time for hands on participation so I figured the financial support would be my contribution” said John.

 John has made the decision to direct his $2,500 award donation to the Cowichan Valley Basket Society. Thank you, John, for your efforts in supporting the wellbeing of our communities and surrounding areas.
