THIS QUARTER'S RECIPIENT
For Scotland’s Yard, we heard from Joy Stewart, mother of Scottie – a 3 year old girl who was born facing unthinkable challenges. Joy shared her family’s struggle with managing cancer treatments outside of the region and how she and her husband had the initiative to push for a Pediatric Cancer Centre at Grand River Hospital, making it more accessible to families in our region. The money raised from our donations will be put towards the first step in achieving that goal – the procurement of a 7 million dollar PET Scan machine.
As well, we heard from Lisa at the Woolwich Community Hub, a renovation of the Woolwich Youth Centre. This is a community space for all ages, all walks of life to come together for game nights, crafts, special speakers, presentations and more. It represents exactly what our vision of Woolwich should be.
Our final presentation of the night was by Melissa at the Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council. They are doing great things providing (un-funded) presentations and resources to our students in middle school in Woolwich.
