On this , we’re looking back at last Saturday’s butter_tart_trot with gratitude. As one beneficiary of this incredible event hosted by North Simcoe Rotaract Club, we’re excited to share the impact these proceeds will have for those supported by CLH. 🌟
Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a CLHF initiative that addresses food insecurity while promoting skill building for members of CLH’s Supported Independent Living Program. With support from North Simcoe Rotaract Club and partners including the Heart of Georgian Bay Community Fund and Huronia Community Foundation, the program has grown to include food supports, cooking and nutrition workshops, and access to fresh produce.
Now, thanks in part to proceeds from the 2026 Butter Tart Trot, BTG is taking its next step. Through a new monthly “Good Food Shop” experience at Brian & Ricki’s No Frills, participants plan their budget, review specials, and choose fresh foods that meet their own needs, preferences, and requirements. More than grocery shopping, this initiative fosters choice, independence, and dignity — and works to remove barriers to fresh choices, which is more crucial now than ever.
Thank you to North Simcoe Rotaract Club for helping make this important opportunity possible. Your support directly impacts SIL members by helping ensure access to fresh, healthy food and empowering people to make informed choices for themselves. Through Bridging the Gap, you’re supporting more than food security—you’re supporting independence, dignity, and choice. 💜
