Help support bridge funding for Ark Aid Mission and 519Pursuit
On April 28, a motion brought forward by London’s Community and Protective Services Committee (CPSC) to provide interim bridge funding of up to $350,000 from the City’s social service reserve fund will be presented to all of London City Council for a final vote. We are asking for your help to support this funding and call on the Province of Ontario to match federal investments as the critical missing piece.
