United Way of Hamilton-Halton raised $11,000,000 in this year's campaign. Thank-you to everyone who supports the United Way. With your generosity in action, everyone benefits.

We are thankful to the Hamilton Community Foundation, trustees of the Joseph and Antonia Mensink Fund. The C.Y.O. has received a donation from the fund in memory of Joseph and Antonia Mensink.

We are excited that the Hamilton Community Foundation has provided assistance to support our flag football program!

Renting fields with turf (not grass) is a major part of creating a safe and reliable playing environment for our young athletes.

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.

As part of its commitment to providing fully accessible facilities to people with disabilities, Camp Brébeuf staff and volunteers will work together to make improvements to the boardwalk section of the nature trail along the Eramosa River.

More activities, more fun. Here are a couple of photos from Athletics Camp and Camp Marydale. There’s lots more on our social media pages.

The onset of COVID-19 severely impacted the C.Y.O.’s fundraising and revenue-generation opportunities. This investment by the Ontario Trillium Foundation allows the C.Y.O. to rebuild…

The C.Y.O. has received an Emergency Relief Community Sport and Recreation Provincial Grant to support this year’s programming for children and youth. The funds will provide a significant degree of support as the C.Y.O. restarts and rebuilds after being greatly affected by the significant closures and lockdowns from the pandemic.
