The devestating tornado that ripped through Goderich in August of 2011 left destruction throughout “Ontario’s Prettiest Little Town” beyond anything the area has seen in the last 15 years. The Advisory Council of Smaller Asset Sized Credit Unions contacted the Foundation and requested our help in soliciting donations for rebuilding efforts. In response, OCUCF launched CanHelp to assist in this endeavour. As this campaign draws to a close, we are delighted to announce that over $26,000 has been raised through participating credit unions, staff and members!
The Foundation wishes to congratulate the efforts of the following credit unions and their staff for participating in CanHelp and collecting donations from their members:
- Meridian Credit Union
- Thamesville Community Credit Union
- Alterna Credit Union
- The Fire Department Credit Union
- Mennonite Savings & Credit Union
- ETCU Financial
- Kellogg Employees Credit Union
- Oshawa Community Credit Union
- Central 1 Credit Union
- Several individual donors who will be receiving tax receipts from the Foundation
Tax receipts for personal donations over $10 are being processed and mailed out in the next couple of weeks.
