The Foundation and COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we work, play, travel, and interact with one another in ways we could have never expected. With indoor spaces, like restaurants or concert venues, having limited access and capacity, and many of us working from home, more and more people are heading outdoors to enjoy the beauty and freedom of nature.

For those of us at the Foundation, this has underlined the importance of protecting our green spaces, and highlighted the important role our supporters play in strengthening the work of Cataraqui Conservation.

Of course, our efforts have not been immune to the broader effects of COVID-19. We’ve had to cancel or postpone our in-person fundraising events planned for earlier this year, and it looks like the same may apply for the fall season. Our annual bake sale at Maple Madness and Forever Green Gala events may not have taken place this year, as the health and safety of our community are our top priorities, but our commitment to conservation and youth education remains steadfast.

As Cataraqui Conservation and the CCF adjust and adapt to the ‘new normal’ we hope we can count on your continued support, whether it be through donations or other means. Learn how you can get involved with the Foundation.
