A plan to emphasize community policing will see Clarington's officers permanently assigned to communities communities that include Courtice, Courtice North, Bowmanville, Bowmanville North, Newcastle and Orono. The move will give citizens a better opportunity to know their police and enable the police to get to know the communities in which they-serve. - Foundation Builds Fund to Assist Durham Groups When municipalities can't afford to extend a helping hand to local community groups, The Community Foundation of Durham Region might be able to fill in the gaps, says the foundation's chair. Ed Buffet told Clarington's councillors on Monday night, March 9, that the foundation, in 1997, held over $100,000 in assets and gave out $7,000 in grants. "The foundation is an organization that builds permanent permanent help for the community," Buffett said. The foundation helps to "foster pride and quality of life" in Durham Region, he said. The idea of the foundation is to pool funds, and "give back to the community," he explained. The foundation is one of 81 such groups in Canada. The first such organization in Canada was established in 1921 in Manitoba. Last year, Vancouver's foundation held over $400 million in trust. Buffett said, "this is an exciting concept. We're always receiving donations, and currently we have $280,000 in assets and donations held in trust." He mentioned that former Regional Chair Jim Witty has put together a $30,199 fund and will continue to contribute to it through fund-raising events. Whether an individual or organization gives a small amount or a large amount is not as important as the act of giving, he said. "Each gift is just as important as the next, and every gift helps the community grow." Buffett then said he was not there to ask for money but "to ask you to share the vision." Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre stated, "even in a short time, it's good to see the growth." Last year, the list of organizations receiving grants from the foundation included: The Head Injured Association of Durham Region, the Durham Farm and Rural Family Resources, the Our Home Residential and Respite Services, the Oshawa-Durham Symphony, the Canadian Mental Health - Durham Branch, and the Literacy Outreach Centre.
