Kinsmen Club of Cornwall recently made a cheque presentation donation to Centre Charles Emile Claude for $ 5,000 . This falls under the public safety strategic priority of our strategy. Generally, this includes organizations that demonstrate that their primary purpose is to provide programs for the enhancement of public safety at the community level. These services are usually offered to the whole community.
The Charles-Émile-Claude Today’s center is a secure, accessible space for socializing, getting information, and learning, offering a range of services, programs, and activities in French for those aged 50 and over. The center aims to combat isolation, extend the autonomy of older adults through their active participation, community engagement, volunteering, and access to various social services. It provides people from Cornwall and the surrounding areas with the opportunity to experience daily activities in French and to celebrate their Franco-Ontarian roots. They have over 375 members. Approximately 400 individuals come to the center weekly, including members, community partners utilizing their facilities for activities, and individuals renting the center for private events.
Funds were for the purchase and installation of an industrial dishwasher for their community kitchen – Les Cuistots.
Donation of $5000 to CCEC. Present on behalf of CCEC is Gabriel Asselin (Chef) and Anita Landriault (President). Kinsmen present: President Matt LeDrew, and Kinsmen Wes Libbey, Claude Legault and Darryl Adams.
