TTF Ann Report 2015.indd 3 2016-05-10 4:44 PM The Temiskaming Foundation

This has been another remarkable year for The Temiskaming Foundation. We are constantly changing and growing to meet the needs of our community.

We are very proud of the fact that there were over 450 donors to the Foundation this year and 9 new funds have been added in 2015.

We partnered with Agnico Eagle and set up the Agnico Eagle Fund with an initial donation of $500,000. This fund will provide ongoing support for 5 important organizations in the town of Cobalt: the Paul Penna (Cobalt) Library, The Bunker Military Museum, The Cobalt Mining Museum, the Classic Theatre and the Cobalt Heritage Silver Trail. The legacy of this fund will be felt for generations.

In recognition of this new grant and in celebration of all the great community work that happens in Cobalt, TTF held its annual celebration at the newly named Paul Penna (Cobalt) Library. What a wonderful evening, with a real recognition of how much can be achieved when we work together. Check out page 3 for some photos.

The Timiskaming Tumblers Gymnastics Club received a generous grant from the Calgary Foundation; you can read all about it on page 33.

Another new for us was a new location for our office. We moved into the Campsall Electric Building above Yves Prime Cut Meats, across from the mall in New Liskeard.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteer Board of Directors for the commitment and dedication to The Temiskaming Foundation and Claire our Executive Director for making sure everything runs so smoothly.

The Temiskaming Foundation is growing and expanding. We are working hard to reach out to our community groups with the ongoing projects and the fantastic new ideas they are under- taking. Please take a minute to check out our website at www.temiskamingfoundation.org for grant application forms, contact information, or to make a donation. Visit our Facebook page: The Temiskaming Foundation.

This report is a testimony to the generosity of your family, friends, neighbours and community. We hope that you will be inspired to join them in giving. Thank you for your continued support.

TTF Ann Report 2015.indd 8 2016-05-10 4:44 PM Gloria Farmer Fund (Englehart & Area Community Fund)

Gloria Farmer was a lifelong resident of Englehart. Gloria was a wonderful mother, grandmother and an outstanding friend. She had a quick wit, colourful ways of looking at life, twinkling eyes, a wonderful sense of humour, and a strong sense of community and family values. Gloria touched the lives of many people and endeared herself to all in a variety of ways. She had many friends, of all ages, from all walks of life. Throughout her life, Gloria always found ways to help others. They may have been small things, but they were always thoughtful and heartfelt. The Gloria Farmer Fund is our way to remember our Mother and Grandmother and to continue doing what she always did - putting others before self.
