Staff Reporter

MPP Anthony Leardi met with the team at the Community Support Centre to hear more about how the $120,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation was used to help bring community members back to in-person programming.

“The Community Support Centre of Essex County has been doing extraordinary work in this area for many years. I am very pleased that the Ontario Trillium Foundation has provided this funding, which will allow the CSC to continue doing so, in-person, right here in our community” said Leardi, MPP for Essex. ”

According to Tracey Bailey, Chief Executive Officer at the Community Support Centre of Essex County, the impact of the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant cannot be overstated.

“This grant has allowed us to invest dollars into bringing people back to in-person programs to help support their health and wellbeing. We have not seen this much foot traffic since prior to the pandemic. The grant allowed us to offer over 40 adult day classes in person every week and over 30 virtual programs that also operated on a weekly basis,” said Bailey.

“We were able to support 16 hired facilitators that brought great programming to our site. We saw over 3,000 people come into the centre specifically to get back to programs over the last year all thanks to the $120,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The grant has allowed us to serve our community better.”

The Community Support Centre of Essex County is committed to ensuring this in-person space continues and that we continue to remain accessible for community activities that help the Windsor-Essex community improve their health and wellbeing.
