In this report, you will find a brief summary that highlights some of the goals achieved and the challenges met by our volunteers and staff. Also included is a list of grants made and our audited financial statements. In recognition of our 25th anniversary year, we have compiled a short retrospective section that features some of the more memorable grants made by the Foundation over the last quarter- century. The Foundation acts as a catalyst that enables Ontarians to work together to enhance the quality of lives in their communities. This year, we are especially delighted at the prospect of being able to do even more to support the work of Ontario’s volunteers in their communities, thanks to the 20-per-cent increase in funding that the government has granted the Foundation over the next three years. Our volunteer Board of Directors and Grant Review Teams, supported by a committed and competent professional staff, continue to provide outstanding leadership.

  • Speech - Niagara Falls Sat
    Speech - Niagara Falls Sat. February 22nd-14 Good Afternoon....... Thank you for inviting me today ..... and thank you all for attending. It is good to be back in Niagara Falls - and I say that because in years gone by, I spent a lot of time here when we had a Regional heritage group — I was here when you had a tree designated, and I remember how the Mayor complained about how much it cost ! and when you were attempting to save the Bright’s Wines building where a grocery store was to be built - and we had a heritage house tour here one year and they had me stationed in a B&B which I was later told by the owner, was haunted...... and, of course, I have known Kym Cody for years - she is one of the most talented and gifted people I know-- and she has always had a great commitment to heritage preservation. A little known fact is ....this is Heritage Week in Ontario - although you would never know it — Heritage Day has been completely eradicated from the calendar and replaced with Family Day by the province, without notification or consultation. Of course, I have nothing against families, but why did the government steal the one day a year when we actually celebrated heritage. It just illustrates the importance the province places on their heritage ! Your theme for today is “Preserving the Past for the Future” - and that is a very big subject – so I am mainly going to focus on “what steps we have to take” to ensure this preservation, and there are a lot of them.
