Character Community Foundation
The Committee received a communication (March 6, 2007) from Don Cousens, Chair, Character Foundation of York Region, requesting an additional $75,000 for the 2007 Character Community operating budget and a presentation from Don Cousens, Chair and Christine deHaas, Executive Director of the Foundation, accompanied by Tim Jones, Co-Chair of the Foundation.
The Committee recommends that the operating budget for the Character Community program be approved as set out in the 2007 Operating Budget, and that the request for an additional $75,000 be referred to the Committee's April 5, 2007 meeting with a request that the submission be refined to determine what additional monies may be available from the school boards and corporate sponsors, the status of the Foundation obtaining a charitable organization number for Income Tax purposes and the possibility of the Region providing a contingency loan until monies are forthcoming from other sources.
The Finance and Administration Committee adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
