Together, these provide an important corridor of greenspace on the Moraine, and a secure corridor for the Oak Ridges Trail. Mrs. Ingeborg Secord and others made generous gifts to enable the purchase, but there is still a large shortfall of funds. Learn more at the annual meeting on May 23. The Foundation is a registered charity. Tax receipts are issued.
Special recognition is made for larger donations.
When the Secord project is complete, the Sauriol Fund will direct its attention to other properties in the area. The Fund was established toward the end of Charles Sauriol's career, to ensure that his great work in protecting natural area would carry on. In his ninety-two years, Charles worked tirelessly to preserve environmental lands across Canada. He had a special love for the Oak Ridges Moraine and often visited the Secords at their property. The horizon for our Trail in King Township is brighter.
