A shoutout to the team at Goodyear for holding a golf tournament in support of their United Way campaign last week. Glad the weather co-operated! Thanks so much for the #locallove and ongoing support!
Correctional Service of Canada BBQ lunch
A big shout out to the team at Correctional Service of Canada who are always looking for innovative ways to raise funds for their campaign.

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.
We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
