Golden Horseshoe Division – Food Bank Challenge

The Golden Horseshoe Division Food Bank Challenge

Dear Members of the Association

Following on Golden Horseshoe Division President John Keddy’s challenge to support local food banks during this time of crisis a number of Divisions have risen to the challenge.

London Division has joined Kingston Division in adding a new tack in supporting Women’s Shelters. Certainly an excellent cause in these troubled times.

We are very pleased to continue reporting on the responses of our Divisions to the Golden Horseshoe Challenge and now the expansion of the challenge to a new area. All these initiatives show the tremendous sense of purpose of our Association and the Force in helping Canadians everywhere.

Some time ago Golden Horseshoe Division Challenged all Divisions to make a contribution to their local Food Banks due to the current COVID 19 crisis.

Last week we gave a cheque to feed Nova Scotia ( https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/feednovascotia/ ) for $12350.00 . We did an on line fund raiser to help Feed NS help support those who have been losing their jobs during COVID19.

I used a hockey stick to keep social distancing when presenting the cheque, how Canadian is that.
