Nonprofit Appreciation Week

PROCLAMATION

Nonprofit Appreciation Week in Grand Valley

February 13 - 19

Whereas Nonprofit Appreciation Week is an important opportunity to say thank you to a sector that goes above and beyond in supporting vulnerable people and strengthening communities;

Whereas the diversity of nonprofit programs – including food security, housing, mental health, support for seniors and caregivers, child and youth development, sports and recreation, faith, the environment, arts and culture – immeasurably enhances our quality of life; 

Whereas there are more than 150 charities and nonprofit organizations serving families and individuals throughout Dufferin County, including Grand Valley;

Whereas the people who work at nonprofits are known for their dedication, skill, compassion, teamwork and leadership, and have always been there when we have needed them the most;

Now therefore, I, Mayor Steve Soloman, on behalf of Council, do hereby proclaim February 13-19 to be Nonprofit Appreciation Week in Grand Valley and encourage all residents to show their appreciation to the people who work in our community’s charities and nonprofits.
