Birgit Wartenberg, Chair of Indigenous Peoples Partnerships would like to thank everyone on the IPPC cluster team for their tremendous work, effort and dedication to make the gently used fur coat drive such a huge success. We will ship 32 beautiful fur coats, 1 stole, 1 collar, 2 suede coats and small fur pieces.
It takes a "village" to pull this off. Here is the list of our "village" friends and a big thank you to everyone who was involved in this project. My apology if I missed someone.
- Jennifer, for designing the poster
- Chris, Jeremy, Robert, Leona and Dave, Linda, Darla and That Special Touch and Lisa for the private donations
- Rotary Club of Scarborough, Rotary Club of Belleville, Rotary Club of Trenton, Rotary Club of Cataraqui - Kingston,
- Jamie Trudeau, for offering his house/garage (again) as our “head office”, storing and packing all the fur coats and delivering the boxes (pictured here in Ottawa with the boxes ready to be shipped).
It shows once again that we are stronger if we work together. I am very proud to know all these people and how this turned out. 😉

Thank You to the orchestra!
