Chinese Association of Mississauga Builds Resilience and Sustainability Thanks to $179,500 Ontario Government Grant
Mississauga, ON – On Sunday, local MPP Natalia Kusendova met with the team at Chinese Association of Mississauga to hear more about the $179,500 Resilient Communities Fundgrant they received from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
“Programs and projects like these are essential to our community, so I am delighted that the Chinese Association of Mississauga was awarded a Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, MPP for Mississauga Centre. “This funding provides a wonderful opportunity for this outstanding association to continue giving back to our community.”
The grant was used to initiate three new programs: a Chinese Painting Class, a Dance class and a Taichi class, which started in June 2023 and will run until May 2025. In addition to these programs, the funding allowed the purchase of essential equipment to help run and maintain the programming.
“The Centre is the go-to place for people in the community to socialize,” said Ricky Zhen, Chair of the Chinese Association of Mississauga. “Thanks to the $179,500 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, people from the community will have more opportunities to socialize and share insights with each other. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to give back to the community,”
The Chinese Association of Mississauga is committed to preserving this space and ensuring that it remains accessible for many community activities over the course of the year. If you wish to enquire about using the space for your meeting or hosting an event, please visit the website at: http://chineseassociationmississauga.com.
“Whether it’s helping people learn new things, connect with their community, or simply have fun, organizations like the Chinese Association of Mississauga deliver experiences that make a difference,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “That’s why grant support through the Ontario Trillium Foundation is so important. This funding will help ensure Chinese Association of Mississauga remains at the heart of the community for decades to come.”
The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is an agency of the Ontario government with a mission to build healthy and vibrant communities across the province. Last year, OTF invested more than $110M into 1,044 community projects and multi-sector partnerships.
