Brighter Tomorrows

I just got back from a press conference in our Community Room at 256 King Edward Ave.  Our building there has 7 innovative programs that serve the needs of our clients and on average, 270 individuals spend the night in the programs.

I am thrilled that Hydro Ottawa and Ottawa United Way have generously given us a grant from the Brighter Tomorrows Fund to replace our lights with LED light fixtures.  This grant was for more than $42,000 and we couldn't be more grateful. 

This will reduce our electricity bills in the building by 66% as well as increase safety, comfort and moods of all that stay in our programs.  This will most notably help clients who are prone to sensitivity issues such as mental illness and epilepsy.
