1993 York Region's United Way annual campaign kick-off
The Region's support for the United Way started in the 1970s, with the first campaign supported by Council in 1976. The campaign raised $250,000 with 13 participating agencies in York Region, including an employee payroll deduction program. For many years York Region residents have contributed to the United Way of Metro Toronto. The Region launched its campaign, The United Way of York Region (now United Way Greater Toronto), to benefit York Region's community services.
In 1980, the Region supported United Way, including payroll deductions and flying its flag at the Region's Administrative Building and United Way to campaign on Regional property to employees with the implementation under the Chief Administrative Officer. Ten years later, Council endorsed and supported the first Regional employee-run United Way campaign, and it continues to be run by employees ever since. Seen here is the Regional Chair Eldred King (left) and Commissioner of Community Services Peter Critchon (right) raising the United Way flag at the Administrative building for the beginning of the Region's 1993 campaign. Regional staff donate $13,645 to the United Way in 1993.
