WHEREAS, in June 2023, the Management Board of Centre 105, a Community Ministry of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa that is located on the premises of Trinity Church Cornwall (the “Church”), submitted an application for capital funding to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a project (the “Project”) to support the construction of new shower and toilet facilities (the “New Facilities”) in the Church's main hall;

AND WHEREAS, in October 2023, the Ontario Trillium Foundation approved the funding for the Project in an amount up to $106,800;

a) the cost of construction of the New Facilities will be funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant in the amount of $106, 800; and

b)any construction costs in excess of $106,800 will be funded directly by the Diocese."
