Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Community Building Grant helped Petrie Island Canoe Club rebuild after a challenging three years of operating through the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating costs covered salaries for staff, including one for a new Club Manager, and equipment & tools to help the club cope with new COVID-era realities and strengthen our organization. Helping our canoe club to thrive now will enable us to serve our community even better in the future. Thank you, Ontario Trillium Foundation!!
