Last week, our Board of Directors had the opportunity to visit and tour Links2Care in Georgetown, where they were welcomed by Elizabeth Pontes, Director of People and Culture.

As a community hub in Halton Hills, Links2Care's mission is "Enhancing the well-being of the community through access to care and connections." Our board enjoyed learning more about the programs, services, and supports that help residents across the community access the care and resources they need.

A sincere thank you to the dedicated Links2Care team for sharing their work and for everything they do to support our community. We'd also like to recognize the other Chamber members with offices within Links2Care, helping ensure residents across Halton Hills can easily connect with valuable services and resources close to home.

🎒 With the school year just around the corner, Links2Care's Backpack Program is still open. If you're looking for assistance or would like to support local students from low-income families as they head back to school, visit their website for more information.

On July 23, we were pleased to welcome Kristina Tesser Derksen, MP for Milton East–Halton Hills South, to Links2Care to learn more about the impact of the Canada Summer Jobs Program.

During the visit, Joseph and Suhana shared their experiences and the work they have been doing throughout the summer, highlighting the valuable contributions Canada Summer Jobs Participants make to our organization and community. Both participants were also recognized with certificates in appreciation of their involvement in the program.

We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase the positive impact of the Canada Summer Jobs Program and to celebrate the dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm of all our Canada Summer Jobs Participants.

Thank you for making a difference in our community this summer!

Our Backpack Program is still collecting donations, and the need in our community remains great.

As the new school year approaches, many families in Halton Hills are facing financial challenges and struggling to afford the school supplies their children need to start the year with confidence. Your support can help ensure local students have the tools they need to learn, participate, and succeed.

Every donated backpack, notebook, pencil, and school supply makes a meaningful difference for a family in need.

Together, we can help local students start the school year ready to learn.
