A Message from Our President
As we look forward to 2022, our 117th year of helping individuals in need in Ottawa and across Canada, I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has supported us in so many ways these past two years.
If nothing else, the devastation of the Covid pandemic has under-scored the vital role of the charitable sector — and our role — in helping people at risk during hard times. It has also challenged us to think of new ways to stay engaged with each other and to raise funds when all of our traditional methods have no longer been possible. We were very pleased to introduce the Road Trip and e-Scavenger Hunt in 2021. It was such a success that we’re going to do it again this year! We also are grateful to the members and businesses who contributed so generously to our Every Member Counts Campaign.
In 2022, we in Laurentian Chapter will be drawing on every ounce of our creativity to develop other new fundraising activities that offer fun to participants while keeping everyone safe. Our focus recipient will be Ottawa’s Help Our Students (HOST).
Keep safe, everyone!
