At LA Group, we believe in the power of community and the importance of investing in our youth. This philosophy was evident on December 14, 2021, when Oxford Village Inc. made a significant donation to the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC). In a heartfelt ceremony, Amanda Keyes, Admin Assistant at LA Group, presented a cheque for $1,000 to the KYC, symbolizing our ongoing commitment to enhancing the lives of young people in Kemptville and the surrounding areas.
The Impact of Our Donation
The Kemptville Youth Centre serves as a vital resource for young people in the region. It provides a safe and welcoming environment where youth can gather, participate in various activities, and form lasting friendships. Bruce Wehlau, President of the KYC Board of Directors, and Micaela Comerford, KYC Programs Coordinator, were present to accept the donation alongside enthusiastic youth participants engaged in after-school activities.
Barb Tobin, Operations Manager at KYC, expressed gratitude for the generous contribution from Oxford Village Inc., stating, “The Kemptville Youth Centre appreciates the generous donation by Oxford Village Inc. This donation will help support the Centre’s mandate to provide a safe space for community youth to gather and spend time with their peers.”
This financial support is crucial as it directly impacts the programs offered at the centre, which are designed to foster personal growth, community engagement, and social development among young people.
A Call to Action for Local Businesses
Gilles Brisebois, Vice President of Oxford Village Inc., emphasized the growing need for support within the community. “The need is there and is growing dramatically. Our youth are our future,” he noted. In light of this, Gilles extended a challenge to other local businesses to step up and support the Kemptville Youth Centre, especially during the holiday season when the demand for youth services is particularly high.
As a company rooted in Kemptville, LA Group recognizes that our success is intrinsically linked to the well-being of the community. By encouraging local businesses to contribute, we aim to create a ripple effect that fosters a culture of giving and community support.
