"We really appreciate this donation."

Manitouwadge Golden Age Centre

A social centre for older adults, Manitouwadge Golden Age Centre is a lifeline for seniors that keeps them connected and active within their community. The NWMO Local's $5,000 donation will be used for important ongoing maintenance needs that will ensure a warm and enjoyable atmosphere for all.
