International Day of Eradication of Poverty Loonie/Toonie Civvies Day Fundraising Event

We are pleased to announce the York Catholic District School Board’s first Annual Loonie/Toonie Civvies Day Fundraiser in support of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on October 17, 2024.

The Attendance Counselling Services Team (ACS) at YCDSB, assists identified students who face significant financial challenges that impact their school attendance. The goal of this fundraiser is to raise awareness and provide essential support, such as food, housing, clothing, and transportation, to students and families in need through our Board attendance counselling services.

The YCDSB students and staff are invited to participate by donating a Loonie or Toonie to help make a difference in our community.   This event will raise funds to provide more equitable access and responsive service to students and families experiencing financial distress, with the goal of increasing regular/compulsory school attendance in pursuit of overall academic achievement.

We hope you will join us in a message of love and compassion for those in need within our YCDSB Community through this Loonie/Toonie Civvies Day Fundraising Event.
