BURLINGTON, ON

This City Council has a practice of recognizing people for their accomplishments.

Last Tuesday, Council recognized city staff who came up with $63,100.81 as their contribution to the United Way Golden Horseshoe 2025 fundraising campaign.

A cheque for $63,000 plus was sent to the United Way.

Ian Maglonzo from Community Planning is the Chair of the employee United Way Committee spoke of the $63,100.81 that went to the United Way Golden Horseshoe fund raising campaign. “This was accomplished through the city payroll deduction program and staff events, such as the annual softball tournament with the town of Oakville and Burlington Economic Development Tourism Chile Cook Off. A shout-out went to Councillor Bentivegna for winning the Celebrity Chef Award this year.”

I want to take the moment to thank Council, the Burlington Executive Leadership Team, the Burlington Senior Leadership Team, and our unions, including Locals 2723 and 44 and IAFF Local 1552 for their continued support in the United Way Committee,  city staff who have participated and contributed both to our events and payroll deduction.
