Forward Thinking

It is all about the future and making our community a better place for our children and our children's children. Our local United Way proudly supports agencies and programs that foster development and initiatives that contribute to building a stronger and more vibrant community. 

In addition to our agencies and programs, we have a young girl who is involved in the fundraiser that I am taking part in this fall. Her name is Riley Paris and she goes to Ward 5 Community Center's after school program. Riley is a sweetheart and has had this to say:

"I believe in my future. I am a grade 4 student in French Immersion. I like to hang out with my friends, swim, run, and watch movies. My sister and I go to Ward 5 Community Centre to an after school program that is funded by United Way’s Community Fund. We love being there with our friends and having a safe place to go after school.I’d like to be a veterinarian when I grow up."
