Halton Region staff present 2008 United Way campaign cheque

On April 1 the Halton Region Employees United Way Committee presented United Way of Oakville with a cheque for $117,639 representing the amount staff raised during their 2008 fundraising campaign. The cheque was presented to Barbara Burton, CEO of United Way of Oakville by Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr, Halton Regional Police Chief Gary Crowell, and Sally Pincock, 2008 Chair of the Halton Region Employees United Way Committee.

“Regional Staff continue to demonstrate their great interest and enthusiasm, both professionally and personally, in helping to make the region a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr.

In 2008, Halton employees were encouraged to donate to United Way where they live, meaning that Halton’s donations will benefit each of Halton’s communities within the region and beyond. The total raised in 2008 represents an increase of more than $12,000 over the amount raised the previous year.

“Our continued partnership with the Region and United Way is another example of the members of the Halton Regional Police Service working with the community to keep Halton as safe tomorrow as it is today,” said Chief Gary Crowell.

Halton Region was also recognized by United Way of Oakville at its Community Achievement Celebration in December 2008 where they received the Public Service Division Award. This award represents excellence in contributions from staff working in public sector organizations. The award acknowledges donations from employees, special events and the dedication and involvement of their United Way Committee Chair.
