The more I learn; the more that I am amazed. At a time when most of us have likely spent our limit during the holidays it is amazing how we, as Canadians, have the compassion and resolve to dig deep to help people half a world away. The world-wide response to the cry for help for the families affected affected by the December 26th tsunami has been incredible. The response here, in our community, has been awesome. On Friday January 7th, employees of the Municipality were given the opportunity opportunity to donate their loose change or more in little buckets located located at all municipal facilities. The Municipality, itself, agreed to match the donations of the employees and to forward it on to the Canadian Red Cross. It gives me great pride to confirm that the Municipality gave the Red Cross a cheque in the amount of $ 7,563.00. In light of the Federal Government's promise to match all donations received by January 11, 2005, the Clarington Team is responsible for a total donation of $ 15,126.00 to the Tsunami Relief Effort. I tip my hat to all of those who participated. I also salute the students and staff of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board who have raised almost $ 75,000. The employees of Ontario Power Generation - Darlington collected, over $ 11,000.00 - this will be matched by the Federal Government. The effort to assist the victims of the tsunami does not end here. Various financial institutions and relief organizations continue to ask for and receive donations that will be directed to provide relief - food; water, medicine, etc. - to the people of South East Asia. Closer to home, all Durham Region municipalities are involved with a community-wide effort that focuses oh a special event to be held Saturday January 29,2005 at Deer Creek Golf & Country Club.
