Our Focus Recipient in 2020 |

Our Education, Citizenship and Services Officers liaise with local charities to determine where our funds can help the most each year. All decisions on the projects that receive IODE Laurentian support are voted upon and approved by the members.
The Youville Centre has been chosen as our focus recipient for 2020. This innovative centre inspires, educates and nurtures young mothers and their children to utilize their strengths and achieve their goals.
Our funds will be used to purchase new cribs.

Lawrence Wesley Education Centre at Cat Lake in Northern Ontario
IODE has “adopted” two elementary school classrooms in Cat Lake, Northern Ontario. Working closely with their teachers, we purchase and seek donations of educational supplies, sports equipment, books and warm clothing for the children in this remote Ojibway community.
The Cat Lake First Nation Reserve (population c. 600) is a 7000-year-old settlement situated some 180 kilometres north of Sioux Lookout on Ontario’s western boundary and is considered to be one of the province’s 31 very isolated communities.
