We’re pleased to partner with United Way to further support communities across the province.” “United Way Greater Toronto is so very grateful for this partnership with OLG. This gift will continue to support a network which strengthens our social safety net, creating lasting impact in the Peel, Toronto and York Region, whether by providing warm clothing for homeless individuals, healthy snacks for children in after-care programs or a safe space for women escaping violence,” said Heather Mc Donald, president and CEO of United Way Greater Toronto. “We are incredibly grateful to the OLG and our local community for helping United Way Halton and Hamilton win $250,000 through the Wintario50 Community Contest. This amazing support will go directly toward strengthening vital social service programs across Halton and Hamilton making a big impact for our most vulnerable neighbours. Thank you for standing with us united in action to build a stronger more caring community,” said Brad Park CEO of United Way Halton and Hamilton. Since 1975 OLG has generated approximately $62 billion for people across Ontario which has helped fund priorities such as health care treatment prevention of problem gambling support for amateur athletes among other initiatives. This year OLG is celebrating everyone who has shaped its winning story over these past fifty years.
