Hydro One has launched a new fund to help local communities respond to COVID-19 challenges.
Charitable organizations, municipalities and Indigenous communities can now apply for up to $25,000 towards pandemic response efforts.
The goal is to improve physical and emotional safety and build safe communities.
Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jay Armitage says “communities and charitable organizations are facing serious challenges to meet critical and emerging needs during this unprecedented time. From supporting well-being through an outdoor skating trail or delivering meals to vulnerable populations, this fund will help those local organizations working tirelessly to build a better and brighter future for their communities.”
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Greg Rickford says Hydro One’s new program captures the importance of coming together to lend a helping hand to those making a lasting difference in the community.
In addition to the new fund, Hydro One is supporting response efforts to provide 13,500 food and safety kits to First Nations communities.
