Youth Centre launches “Cooking for Kids” program with support from Stratford Perth Community Foundation donors

On Tuesday, October 9, Town of St. Marys Supervisor of Youth Services and Recreation Ciaran Brennan met with Ric McGratten (McGratten Children’s Fund), Michael Kennedy (Annie and Isabelle Chesterfield Fund), and Amanda Willie (Grants and Data Manager for the Stratford Perth Community Foundation). He gave the donor group a tour of programming happening at the St. Marys Youth Centre, including the new “Cooking for Kids” classes.

In 2018 the Stratford Perth Community Foundation awarded the St. Marys Youth Centre $4,500 for “Learning Healthy Cooking and Meal Preparation” from the above funds as well as the St. Marys Smart and Caring Community Fund.

The St. Marys Youth Centre is using the funding to run free cooking classes for its members. Classes will run in four week intervals from October, 2018 to August, 2019 on Tuesday evenings between 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. October and November classes are currently full. To register for future sessions, contact Ciaran Brennan at 519-284-2340, ext. 626 or cbrennan@town.stmarys.on.ca.
