- OFGCC Deceased member’s Bursary Fund
The OFGCC Deceased Members Bursary Fund was established in 1983 to honor the memory of some of the most dedicated Conservationists in the Orillia Area. Through their gifts of time, skill and money over the years, it has made it possible for future generations to enjoy the great outdoors and the environment around us. Over the past 15 years alone the OFGCC Deceased Members Bursary Fund has distributed over $50,000.00 in awards to qualifying students furthering their education in Conservation and Environmental programs.
The OFGCC Deceased Members Bursary Fund is a registered charity #0663245-29-13 and the Fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Orillia and Area. Tax receipts are available for all donations
