Two organizations that offer support to Chatham-Kent's children and youth will benefit from the generosity of an area utility.
Entegrus has donated $200,000 to the Children's Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent (CTC-CK) and on behalf of its shareholder, Corix District Energy Holdings LP (Corix), another $10,000 has gone to Linck.
Jim Hogan, the President and CEO of Entegrus, commented that the company has long supported organizations that better the lives of CK's kids.
"Both Entegrus and its shareholders recognize the importance of investing in the well-being of our communities," he said.
The CTC-CK has been a cornerstone of care in Chatham-Kent, providing essential therapy, services, and support to children and youth with physical, developmental, and communication needs.
Construction has already broken ground on a new facility, which will allow the centre to expand the reach of its programs and ensure that children in the community receive the care they need to thrive.
"I want to thank Entegrus for their unwavering support over the years," stated Kevin Owen, Chair of the Children's Treatment Centre Foundation Board. "Their community leadership and generosity, including this incredible $200,000 donation, have played a crucial role in making this project a reality."
Linck is a multi-service agency that partners with caregivers and the community to provide children's mental health, developmental, and protection services in Chatham-Kent.
"Linck is deeply appreciative of this generous support from Entegrus on behalf of Corix," said Teri-Thomas Vanos, Executive Director of Linck Child Youth and Family Supports. "This donation will directly impact our ability to provide critical programs and services, helping us ensure children and families in our community have access to the care and resources they deserve."
