OSPREY MEDIA NIAGARA PUBLISHING GROUP CHILDERN'S SUMMER CAMP & RECREATION FUND
A partnership between the Osprey Media Group and the Niagara Community Foundation
Osprey Media is committed to investing in tomorrow through the youth of today. Its Summer Camp & Recreation Fund will help Niagara children in financial need participate in a variety of camping and recreation experiences. An opportunity to go to summer camp or be involved in a neighbourhood activity not only helps our children develop new skills, make new friends and raise their self esteem, it also gives them the chance to get their hands dirty and have lots of fun.
The Niagara Community Foundation, on behalf of Osprey Media, administers the Osprey Media Children’s Summer Camp & Recreation Fund.
The following newspapers are part of the Osprey Media Group: St. Catharines Standard, Welland Tribune, Niagara Falls Review, Lincoln Post Express, Grimsby Independent, West Lincoln Review, Niagara Advance and the Fort Erie Times Review.
