The Amherstburg Community Foundation announced Wednesday several orginzations selected for funding through the Foundation’s Believe in Amherstburg Initiative.

A town councillor held her second in what she hopes will be a series of roundtables, with stakeholders starting to come up with initiatives they can work towards.

Councillor Patricia Simone met with a series of non-profit groups and organizations last Monday night and a number of topics were discussed

I strongly believe that if Amherstburg is going to be one of the great small towns in Ontario it should adopt this virtuous circle approach. Our town has some good momentum right now that we can build upon.

Six months into the Amherstburg Community Foundation’s ambitious plan to raise money for four distinct local initiatives, the goal’s been reached on one and the other three are at least 70 per cent funded.
