Temporary Road Closure Due to Event - Georgetown & Glen Williams Remembrance Day Parades Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, and Town of Halton Hills By-law 2008-0020 regarding the following temporary road closure for the purpose of the following community event: Adam Doering is a strong believer in raising charitable children. "I want my kids to know we're fortunate and there are a lot of people who are less fortunate," says the Burlington dad. "I hope my wife and I can teach them really young that we have an ob- ligation as human beings to help others if we can." His young daughters sometimes accompany their parents to fundrais- ing events, and last sum- mer the girls sold snow cones in support of the Halton Learning Founda- tion. According to surveys, up to 90 per cent of parents place importance on their children becoming chari- table adults, but a much lower percentage of par- ents actively teach kids to give. If you're interested in instilling a sense of phi- lanthropy in your chil- dren or grandchildren, but you're not sure how to go about it, here are a few ideas to get started: Talk to kids about phi- lanthropy. When you do- nate or volunteer for a charity yourself, be sure to share with your kids why you're doing it and who will benefit. This helps them appreciate that not everyone is phys- ically, emotionally or fi- nancially secure. Parents who talk to their children about charitable giving significantly increase the likelihood that their chil- dren will give to charity. Speak to their passion. Do your kids love ani- mals? Are they passionate about the environment? Make them aware of age- appropriate opportuni- ties to support the causes they care about through fundraising or volunteer- ing. Make giving a habit. With the holiday season approaching, many kids' thoughts turn to things they want. This can be an ideal time to remind them there are kids just like them who are less fortunate. Encourage them to choose a few of their own good toys that they no longer use and donate them to an appropriate organization, or teach them to set aside a portion of their weekly allowance for charity. Build connections. If possible, have them make their donation in person. Handing over money or goods to an actual person reaffirms where the funds are going and is a great op- portunity for kids to learn more about who their do- nation is helping and how. Sherri Armstrong is the communications man- ager at the Halton Learn- ing Foundation, which provides low-income stu- dents of the Halton Dis- trict School Board with funds for school supplies, clothing and other basic items they require to be successful in learning.
