The 2025-2026 District Project
Autism affects 1 in 50 children and youth, and 1 in 55 adults. The spectrum is broad, and many of us know someone on it. The 2025-2026 District Project was to raise funds for Autism Ontario, whose mission is to create a supportive and inclusive Ontario for autism.
Autism Ontario is a charitable organization founded in 1973 with a history of over 50 years supporting, representing, and advocating for all autistic individuals across the province regardless of race, ethnicity, income, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. They provide information on autism, support autism research, and implement programs and services for the autism community to address the issues that affect Ontarians with autism, their families, and their caregivers.
The 2024-2025 District Project
As the community around us continues to grow we have learned that what is needed more than ever, is an updated, modernized hospital. While Stevenson Memorial Hospital continues to serve patients with the highest quality health care, we also continue to work toward a redeveloped hospital for the communities in South Simcoe and surrounding areas.
Our district project for 2024 to 2025 was to aid the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s bold, $43 million campaign to purchase essential equipment, upgrade leading-edge technology, and complete the critical renovations which is essential for this transformative redevelopment. The district was proudly able to raise $41,828.00 towards this goal.
