Chad Chartrand

I’m a bilingual communications and fund development professional based in Ottawa with over a decade of experience helping organizations tell their stories, engage their audiences, and build stronger connections. I’ve worked across public, nonprofit, and academic settings, leading campaigns, managing content and design projects, and shaping messaging that brings people together around meaningful causes.

I currently work as the Communications and Fund Development Coordinator at the Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre, and I also run STiR Culinary Studio. This bilingual social enterprise helps kids explore cooking and creativity through hands-on learning. I love using communication as a tool for impact and connection, whether that’s through storytelling, design, or building partnerships that make a difference in the community.-person bio, friendly tone
