January 11, 2022 – Following a difficult year for many charities, Norfolk County employees are pleased to have donated over $30,000 to local causes.

- Haldimand and Norfolk Women’s Services, $2090
- Community Access Living, $2140
- Camp Trillium – Rainbow Lake, $2168
- Cancer Support and Resource Program, $2140
