Indigenous communities, charitable
organizations, and municipalities across Ontario have two more
weeks to apply to receive $25,000 in funding
TORONTO, Jan. 18,
2024 /CNW/ - Hydro One Inc. (Hydro One) continues to
welcome applications for the Energizing Life Community Fund as the
January 31 deadline draws near.
Indigenous communities, charitable organizations, and
municipalities across Ontario are
encouraged to apply for $25,000 in
funding available to organizations whose work promotes physical,
psychological and emotional wellbeing in the communities they
serve. Last year, 25 recipients providing critical local services
and driving positive change in their communities were selected to
receive funding. One 2023 grant recipient, Chatham-Kent Fire
Rescue, put their grant towards a Mobile Command Unit that will
provide emergency communications and support to better control a
critical situation during an emergency.
"Thanks to the Hydro One Energizing Life Community Fund, we've
been able to develop a new Mobile Command Unit and have already put
it to use while responding to emergencies in the community,"
said Chris Case, Fire Chief, Chatham-Kent Fire Rescue. "The
Command Unit allows our first responders to get fast access to
equipment and information, as well as on-site rehabilitation for
firefighters to receive medical attention, if needed. We are
extremely grateful to Hydro One for helping us respond to
emergencies as quickly and safely as possible."
"At Hydro One, we are committed to being present and giving back
to the communities where we live and work. Organizations
like Chatham-Kent Fire Rescue are an essential part of keeping
communities safe, and we want to thank them for all that they do,"
said Daniel Levitan, Vice President, Stakeholder Relations,
Hydro One. "Charitable organizations and municipalities are
powerful agents of local change, and we are proud to support them
as they build a safer, better and brighter future for all."
For the last three years, recipients of the Energizing Life
Community Fund have directly supported community safety and
wellbeing. These programs include increased access to mental health
support for farmers, city beautification through mural projects,
and peer-led education to combat homophobia and transphobia. To
