Giving Tuesday

Mover: Councillor L. Vezeau-Allen
Seconder: Councillor L. Dufour

Whereas Giving Tuesday was established as a national day of giving in 2013 to be held on the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday; and

Whereas Giving Tuesday is a celebration of philanthropy and volunteerism where people contribute what they are able to donate; and

Whereas Giving Tuesday sees citizens work together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes, build stronger communities, and think about the needs of others; and

Whereas it is fitting and proper on Giving Tuesday, and every day, to recognize the tremendous impact of philanthropy, volunteerism, and community service in the City of Sault Ste. Marie;

Now therefore be it resolved that City Council supports Giving Tuesday and encourages all citizens in Sault Ste. Marie to join together to give back to the community.
