Peterborough District Masons Donate $17,253.25 To YWCA Crossroads Shelter For Women And Children

Right Worshipful Brother Tom Mortlock, District Deputy Grand Master of Peterborough District, on behalf of the Masons of Peterborough District, presented a cheque in the amount of $17,253.25 to YWCA’s Ria Nicholson in support of the YWCA Crossroads Shelter for women and children.

“The leadership of caring men in our community who understand that responding to the impact of violence against women and their children is a responsibility we all share is especially important in these uncertain times,” says Kim Dolan, Executive Director of YWCA Peterborough Haliburton.

Right Worshipful Brother Mortlock was accompanied by Brother Danny McLaughlin, District Fundraising Project Chairman (left) and Worshipful Brother Philip Lake, Peterborough District Secretary (right).

Mortlock, together with his family and the MortWalk Construction Team, have been actively involved in the YWCA’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes fundraising event for many years, believing that support services for women and children fleeing abusive relationships are very much needed in our community.

“The essential service provided by the caring YWCA Family is a resource that the Masons of Peterborough District were very proud to support this year,” says Mortlock.

Members of the community who wish to add their support for YWCA crisis and support services are encouraged to visit the website or contact the office at 705-743-3526.
