Welcome to IODE Laurentian

Serving Ottawa 1906

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.

Our Ongoing Recipients

We provide the following funding every year:

Scholarships and Bursaries

  • Duchess of Connaught Scholarship (Carleton University)
  • Mary C. Grant Bursary (Carleton University)
  • Katherine Y. King Bursary (Algonquin College)
  • Banff-Ledbury Bursary
  • Marion Ruddick Award (Senior Strings) at the Kiwanis Music Festival

Banff Avenue Community House Summer Programs

Banff Avenue Community House provides a safe place where families, children, and youth can access community-led programs and services in the heart of the social housing area known as Banff/Ledbury. It envisions a future where the community achieves harmony, empowerment, and a better quality of life.

Each year, IODE Laurentian provides funding to support its summer programs including its Kids Camp and Teen Leadership Camp.

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.
