    MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020 The Ottawa-Gatineau Youth Foundation officially launched operations. Reaffirms commitment to supporting young people throughout the National Capital Region. OTTAWA – The Ottawa-Gatineau Youth Foundation (OGYF) officially launched this morning at 8:15 a.m. with a 30-minute, power-packed, bilingual presentation, sponsored by Accora Village, featuring several prominent business leaders, politicians and well-loved NHL players from the region. After more than two decades as the Ottawa Senators Foundation, the Ottawa-Gatineau Youth Foundation is launching with a new name, but with the same commitment it has always had as registered charitable organization in supporting young people in the National Capital Region by investing the funds it raises in activities to empower them and provide opportunities. “Today is not only an inspiring day, it is an opportunity to reflect on the unwavering commitment from the community to carry on the legacy of our Foundation’s work, which began 22 years ago under Rod Bryden and a group of community leaders associated with the city’s hockey club,” said Ian Sherman, Chair of the Ottawa-Gatineau Youth Foundation. “We launched this reimagined Foundation to ensure that the important work that started more than two decades ago would continue, and also expand it to include a focus on social justice activities for youth.” “I am very honoured to Chair the Board of Directors and, along with our community, owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our outgoing Chair, Goldy Hyder,” added Sherman. “Our core values and strategic priorities as an organization are well established and the Foundation will not disappoint this great Ottawa-Gatineau community.” At today’s launch, the Foundation shared bilingual promotional videos, and unveiled its new logo, mission and vision.
