“The CTC is an organization that is close to our heart,” said Hagen. “Some kids in our community really need that type of support that might not be available somewhere else. The Children’s Aid Society is in charge of making sure that kids are safe, but there exists several sorts of abuses that can only addressed by the CTC.”
In 2020, fundraising efforts included a lot of different approaches, including a late-summer month-long effort to raise money at a local law office. The initiative spearheaded by Guindon had 20 per cent of proceeds from will and/or power of attorney appointments being donated to the CTC. Guindon, a junior associate at McDonald, Duncan, Dore LLP, figured that when everything was added up, well over $1,000 would be raised.

A nice Christmas gift for the Children’s Treatment Centre.
The Sertoma Foundation of Canada has donated $5000 to the CTC’s speech language therapy program.
Over the last few months, most speech and language therapy sessions have been done virtually, but that means families have to have a home computer if iPad to allow children to interact with their therapist.
“The donation from the Sertoma Foundation of Canada allows us to purchase much needed equipment to loan to children with speech language needs that cannot participate without loaned equipment,” says Mike Genge, President of CTC Foundation. “We are grateful for the ongoing support from this Foundation.”
