The Haliburton Club was founded in 1971 by a group
of business people who wanted to ensure that the future generation
of Scouting Youth would have access to proper and safe equipment
when they visited the Greater Toronto Council camps.
Over the years, the equipment needs have been met,
in large, by the funds raised through the Haliburton Club Breakfast.
In 2008 over 10,000 boys and girls and over 3,000 Leaders
accumulated more than 68,000 camping days, and experienced the joys
and dreams of these camps. These experiences include a full range of
programs from canoeing, boating, fishing, and trail orienteering, to
the simple pleasures of learning about nature for the little 5 to 7
year old Beavers. Our camps provide the memories that dreams are
made of.
It is also significant that we strive to prevent
having any Youth turned away due to financial hardship. Scouts
Canada works in conjunction with many youth organizations to ensure
that the Scouting experience is enjoyed by anyone who desires it.
Some of these organizations include: The George Hull Centre,
Breakfast Clubs, Bloorview Hospital, and North Albion Collegiate.
Every Scouting Youth has a chance to visit these camps, a place
where dreams and memories are made.
The individuals who join the Haliburton Club meet
once a year at breakfast to celebrate the memories of the Scouting
Movement. It is here that business people, volunteers, Scouting
Youth and special guests, all mingle to raise the needed funds for
the camps.
Each year there is a great breakfast, a main
speaker, sports personalities who allow time for photographs and
autographs, great prizes and those who meet old and new friends.
We want to take this opportunity to thank the
individuals you see listed on this letterhead for the time they take
from their very busy schedules to be part of the team that makes
this breakfast such a success each year.
COME OUT AND ENJOY THE FRIENDSHIP
