COVID-19 has changed the ways we gather, celebrate, and honour one another, however it has not changed the way our community steps up to support and help each other in times of crisis.
While COVID-19 has changed the ways we gather, celebrate, and honour one another, it has not changed the way our community steps up to support and help each other in times of crisis.

Apartment613, en partenariat avec Centraide de l’Est de l’Ontario, est fier de vous présenter les Prix de bâtisseurs communautaires : Héros de la COVID-19.
