Diocese of Ontario Foundation update

The Ven. Bill Clarke, president, Anglican Diocese of Ontario Foundation, reports that the Board has approved an accessibility grant of $7,500 for St. George’s Cathedral to help complete an elevator replacement project. The Lift system is used extensively by clients of Lunch by George, many of whom require this facility five days a week to attend the meal programme, as well as many others who depend on the elevator to participate in parish and diocesan events in the Great Hall. This grant brings to a total of $ 48,245 made to parishes and the diocese in 2019. Directors of the Foundation are grateful for contributions to date for the 2019-2020 Appeal, Fearless Generosity, reminding supporters that gifts made between now and December 31 will provide a year-end tax receipt. Gifts may easily be made through Canada Helps by logging on to the Foundation’s website, www.dioceseofontariofoundation.ca.
