On January 10th MPP Sylvia Jones announced that seven Dufferin-Caledon non-profit organizations are included in the latest round of Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) grant funding.

The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), established in 1982 to help fund social service organizations in Ontario, is an agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and works to build healthy and vibrant communities across Ontario. Its programs support the arts, culture, sports and recreation, heritage, human and social services, and environment sectors.

This latest round of OTF funding includes capitol grant funding that is intended to help the following Dufferin-Caledon non-profit organizations deliver much-needed community support programs:
