Azrieli Foundation Boosts Northwestern Ontario Fire Relief Fund
A $50,000 matching gift from the Azrieli Foundation has pushed the Northwestern Ontario Wildfire Community Support Fund past the $300,000 mark. The initiative, launched by the United Way of Thunder Bay and the Thunder Bay Community Foundation, now aims to double the impact of every new contribution to aid fire-stricken regions.
André Beaulieu, CEO of the Azrieli Foundation, noted that the contribution is intended to bolster both emergency response and community resilience throughout the coming months. Allocation of the funds remains a collaborative process, involving the City of Thunder Bay Community Support Table and various Indigenous organizations. This partnership ensures that resources flow directly to front-line agencies providing essential services to evacuees and those displaced by the fires.
