NEWS RELEASE
COUNTY OF SIMCOE
*************************
Simcoe Manor was presented on Monday with a donation of $1,000 from the Tec-We-Gwill Women’s Institute, a local organization that actively strives to offer educational programming and community support, advocate for social, environmental and economic change, and work towards the personal growth of all women, for home and country.
“The Tec We Gwill Women’s Institute was established more than 70 years ago when a group of young women from the former Townships of Tecumseth and West Gwillimbury joined the Federated Women’s Institute of Ontario,” said Diana Dundas, branch president.
“This year we chose to donate to the Give a Lift Campaign as many of our members have had family at Simcoe Manor and they know how important transportation is to their quality of life and wellbeing.”
“Many of the 540 seniors who reside within our four long-term-care homes rely on our accessible buses to stay connected to their communities,” said Warden George Cornell. “Thanks to this generous donation from the Tec We Gwill Women’s Institute we are now closer to reaching our target to purchase a new bus for Simcoe Manor, the first of four in need of replacing.”
