Success Stories

Hear how communities, leaders, and partners describe their experience of working together for meaningful change

Bea Bruske UFCW Secretary Treasurer – CLC President

I have worked with Marianne on worker engagement for the UFCW Security Sector membership. Marianne’s straight forward and direct approach in developing our project, and her ability to collaborate with multiple organizations and stakeholders provided the results our organization was striving for. It has given us significantly increased worker engagement and awareness of labour and workplace issues for this industry. Our collaboration has also given us a solid pathway to build on for this sector or our membership. I highly recommend Marianne as a “change agent” for any engagement project.

Genevieve (Genny) Funk-Unrau BSW, RSW Klinic - Community Health Outreach Worker

I first worked with Marianne when she was an advocate at the West Central Women's Resource Centre and I was chair of their board. I have continued to connect with Marianne on various projects over the past 2 decades. I have found her to be very resourceful and thoughtful. Marianne has a great ability to analyze situations and offer creative solutions.

Angelina Pelletier Graduate RRC CD/CED Program

The Community Development program was the best experience of all my schooling. There was historical context, plus applied skills. It brought all my skills together in a tangible way that could be applied in the community. The course Working Across Differences, taught by Marianne Cerilli, had a big impact on me. We unpacked all the assumptions we learn over our lives. It was about trying to understand other cultures, oppression, and colonization. It pushed me toward a genealogy search.
