Final Word from the Chairperson
A huge shout out to all those that assisted in the assembly of 50 COVID Care packages for the Ottawa Senior Irish Community. The Ottawa Gaels joined forces with the Ottawa Irish COVID-19 Action Committee and were delighted to be able to provide some much needed “TLC” to our Irish Seniors. This initiative would not have been possible without the financial support from the Department of Foreign Affairs (“DFA”) of Ireland who provided the necessary funding for this project. The Irish Ambassador, Jim Kelly and Laura Finlay, Second Secretary at the Irish Embassy were instrumental in getting this project off the ground. The DFA has also provided financial support to the Ottawa Irish Covid-19 Action Committee to provide gift cards from local grocery stores for those who may be in need. Please contact me directly if you would like assistance or know someone in the Irish community who may benefit from this program.
We also would like to thank Kelly Santini LLP for their assistance with the COVID Care package initiative. Below are some photographs from the assembly line as well as from the distribution day that we thought you might enjoy.
On a final note, I would like to say that you can always count on the Ottawa Gaels to support you no matter what. We fully appreciate that these are difficult times for many, both financially and mentally. If you need support of any kind, please reach out to the Executive members. We are always pleased to be of assistance.
Stay safe.
Lisa Langevin,
Ottawa Gaels Chairperson
