WRDSB Newcomer Fundraising
Posted January 12, 2016
Waterloo Region has a strong history in supporting newcomer settlement and has recently been identified as one of six Ontario communities supporting refugee reception. It will receive more than 1,000 government assisted and privately sponsored refugees beginning in December 2015, with the majority of them arriving in January and February of 2016. These newcomers will receive re-settlement assistance within our community.
Newcomer (Refugee) Welcome – Fundraising
People in Waterloo Region are compassionate and caring, and have responded generously to appeals for assistance in times of extraordinary need or disaster at home and around the world. In responding to the emergent re-settlement needs of these newcomers, the Waterloo Region District School Board will be launching the “Newcomer (Refugee) Welcome” board-wide fund-raising initiative.
Parents, students and staff members who wish to donate to the cause may consider donating through the Waterloo Region Education Foundation Inc. (WEFI) at www.wrdsb.ca/wefi between Tuesday, January 12th and Thursday, March 31, 2016.
The process for making such donations can be located on the attached document or accessed directly on the Board website. Donated funds will be directed by the Waterloo Education Foundation to the Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation, the agency identified by the Refugee Resettlement Steering Committee. The Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation has made a commitment to match all donations up to $200,000. Parent Letter – Newcomer Fundraiser
