On May 24, Local MPP Ted Hsu and Ontario Trillium Foundation representative, Gary Melnuk, met with Dawn House staff and Board members in our brand new Trillium Room located at our Milford Drive location.
The room had been named in recognition of the contribution that the Ontario Trillium Foundation had made through a 2022-23 $111,500 Resilient Communities Fund Grant that enabled Dawn House to repurpose its physical space and hire staff to develop revenue sources, rebuild its volunteer base and adapt programming virtually.
The Trillium Room, with its Viewsonic View Board, is a much used resource room where Dawn House has been able to hold online training programs, virtual and hybrid meetings that meet the needs of residents, staff, volunteers and the Board.
The meeting was a great opportunity to use and celebrate this new space while recognizing the contribution that The Ontario Trillium Foundation has made to helping Dawn House build its resiliency and sustainability by hiring new staff to address organizational needs through a $93,500 grant discussed in this previous blog post.
Thank you to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for your continued support.
