About Us
Who We Are
The Children’s Aid Foundation of the District of Thunder Bay was established in 1985 by the Board of Directors of the Children’s Aid Society to handle bequeaths and donations that had accumulated since the early 1970’s. Shortly after the Foundation’s inception, a large bequeath was provided to the Agency by the late Ms. Pearl Savas.
The generosity and thoughtfulness of our donors continues to provide the Foundation with the opportunity to generate a steady stream of financial resources for children and youth in need for many years to come.
Dedicated to the well being of our children, an essential goal of the Foundation is to give our children the skills and support they need to reach their full potential, recognize their dreams and enrich their lives.
