DonMcVie, Board Chair, Acceptance Speech
“On behalf of the Port Credit Community Foundation I wish to express our gratitude for the great honour of receiving the Laurie Pallett Patron of the Arts Award. Our Foundation motto is Enriching Lives. Over the past 12 years we have seen our investment in arts initiatives resonate very effectively with that ambition. Supporting the arts has been at the core of our mandate. The arts bring value to us all. They reflect our community values and they truly engage, empower and enrich our lives in countless ways . It is a privilege to encourage practitioners and to watch the profound effect our small investment has on the place we live and on all of us who share it. Thank you to the Mississauga Arts Council for your stalwart and tireless support for the arts in our great City."
The Port Credit Community Foundation achieved the award based on participation and support of these community initiatives”
