It was one of the nine Cora res- taurants in the National Capital Region that Cora was escorted to by Field Representative, Miguel Cardoso, and to the truly surprised customers, it was made even better when Cora herself readily posed for photos, answered questions, and even helped the guests create some selfies. The excited comments by the various diners could be heard throughout the restaurant, as Cora spent about two hours there enjoying both her meal and all the friendly people. One lady visiting from Sudbury said that she was ‘over the moon’ to meet Cora, while other diners commented about the ‘friendliness’ of this well-known lady. The history of Cora herself goes back twenty-eight years ago to 1987 when she bought a snack bar in the Saint Laurent district of Montreal. It wasn’t very long however after the opening of her modest restaurant that Cora could see the wise-ness of changing the snack bar concept into making breakfasts her speciality. Again, it was only a short time later when her successful little eatery became much too small because of all her delicious meals and enthusiastic customers. Not long after, Cora took over a new establishment, and her three children ran the original Cote- Vertu restaurant. She quickly branched out to owning a third, then five more Chez Cora Dejeun- Page 6 Riverview Park Review APRIL 2015 Board of Directors: Peter Bishop, Bill Fairbairn, Michelle McLellan, Rob Column Coordinator: Catina Noble Southcott Distribution Manager: Cheryl Khoury – [email protected] Editor: Carole Moult – [email protected] Cartoonist and Masthead Artist: Greg Money Advertising Manager: Carole Moult – [email protected] Bookkeeper: Anne Jackson Staff Writer and Editor Emeritus: Bill Fairbairn 613-737-3212 Printer: Performance Printing Layout and Design: François Allard t’s hardly news that circula- media such as Twitter and Facebook, along with various blogs and Web sites, tion of daily newspapers is not We tried selling out..

Last week, I asked to speak with you about gifts to CHIMP for a total of $120 million: Ø $ 34.4 million from Almoner Foundation (2011-2019) Ø $ 33.8 million from Foundation For Public Good (2017-2019) Ø $ 12.1 million from the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship (2012-2018) Ø $ 10.5 million from Eden Glen Foundation (2017) Ø $ 10.1 million from Timothy Foundation (2012-2017) Ø $ 7.0 million from Mighty Oaks Foundation (2014) Ø $ 4.0 million from Headwaters Foundation (2011) Ø $ 3.7 million from Homestead on the Hill Foundation (2018) Ø $ 3.4 million from Global Charity Fund (2014) Ø $ 1.0 million from Theanon Foundation (2011-2014) $ 120 million TOTAL On the basis of my research, it is clear to me that these gifts for $120 million stem from tax-receipted donations reported by charities involved with funds for starting Quest University.
