Acknowledging the Ontario Trillium Foundation
This past year, the Catholic Youth Organization (C.Y.O.) received an operational grant from the Community Building Fund at the Ontario Trillium Foundation to maintain our office operations at Camp Marydale and Camp Brebeuf. The project time frame has taken us from September 2021 to October 2022. It has given the C.Y.O. the opportunity to maintain operations by supporting the salary of two bookkeeping positions. This investment by the Ontario Trillium Foundation allowed the C.Y.O. to continue operating facilities and deliver programs for Ontarians by hiring specialized personnel to maintain viability and ensure sustainability of the organization.
Volunteer Officials and Scorekeepers Needed
Volunteer officials/scorekeepers are needed for the C.Y.O. flag football and basketball programs.
