The Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society has received a contribution of $75,000 from TD financial to support the construction of the Bill and Dot Muzzatti Child and Family Centre.
The centre, currently under construction, is part of the $4.4-million, two floor-expansion of the society’s building on Riverside Drive, designed to provide enhanced services to children, youth and families. said Mike Clark, manager of public relations and fund development for the society.
The concept is to provide a “spacious and inviting” environment for parent and child visitations as well as a safe haven for youth to express their thoughts and creativity while offering opportunities for developing and reinforcing positive parenting skills.
The project was spearheaded by a $1.25 million gift from Dorothy Muzzatti, her late husband Bill, and the Muzzatti family.
“TD values the great work that the Children’s Aid Society does,” said Eric Griggs, divisional vice-president of retail for TD Financial. “This support is an investment in children and youth, who are the future of our community.”
