People in Waterloo Region are compassionate and caring, and have responded generously to appeals for assistance in times of extraordinary need or disaster at home and around the world. In responding to the emergent situation, the Waterloo Region District School Board will be launching the “Fort McMurray Disaster Relief” board-wide fund-raising initiative.
Parents, students and staff members who wish to donate to the cause may consider donating through the Waterloo Region Education Foundation Inc. (WEFI) at http://www.wrdsb.ca/wefi/ between Tuesday, May 10th and Wednesday, June 15th, 2016.
The process for making such donations can be located below or accessed directly on the Board website. Donated funds will be directed by the Waterloo Education Foundation to the Canadian Red Cross, the organization identified to coordinate these relief efforts.
