Fri. August 21, 2020 Statement of Oshawa Mayor Carter concerning Oshawa Downtown

Yesterday Oshawa Mayor Carter posted a Statement requesting help to address the unique needs & challenges in Oshawa's downtown - the urgency for all levels of government & community partners to work together to take action. The message is important and timely.

When problems pile on, reaching out for help takes courage, but can bring solutions. 

Here's the link, I recommend reading it through: https://www.oshawa.ca/Modules/News/index.aspx?feedId=0e765813-d33e-4ba5-b464-3e0fff61eab4&newsId=1719e530-13c7-41a5-bdad-915f5dac6170&fbclid=IwAR0Oek0nuTCYJFNoNuiewc08wr0yZvrK9DxHBqBIXOmIWikVjlLI3N8mhVo

For anyone looking for opportunities to help the homeless in Oshawa, a good starting point is the information provided on the informdurham.com website which is a program of the United Way. It has search parameters which include "organizations with volunteer opportunities".
