During South Huron Council’s meeting on September 5th, a delegation from the Sunset Community Foundation made presentation.
This foundation, which serves a vast region encompassing Huron County, Lambton Shores, and Middlesex, plays a crucial role in supporting local community vitality. With more than 86,000 residents under its umbrella, they have donated a staggering $2.1 million to various community groups.
In 2019, the Sunset Community Foundation entered into an agreement with the Municipality of South Huron to establish and administer the South Huron Vitality Fund.
In their delegation, the Sunset Community Foundation requested further support from the South Huron Council in the form of an investment totaling $150,000 over three years, equivalent to $50,000 annually.
Council’s decision on this investment will be made at a subsequent meeting.
