Camp Trillium
Every year over 400 children in Ontario are diagnosed
with cancer. Going to camp can seem like a
remote possibility for children living with
cancer. Camp Trillium was established in
1984 with this purpose in mind: to provide a
camp environment for children affected by
cancer and their families where they can
relax and enjoy life again.

Scholarships Available)
The Educational Foundation of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows began its
operation on September 20, 1927. The purpose
of the Foundation is to operate a revolving
loan fund for students dependent in part, or
wholly, on their own efforts for an
education. It is supported by donations to a
trust fund and no part of the trust fund can
be used for operating expenses.

Odd Fellow Retirement Home
It was the very best design when it was opened
in 1984. Since the rebuilt Home opened almost 20 years ago, the type of care has
changed dramatically. Once, residents usually
walked in the door. Now, most arrive by
ambulance or in wheelchairs. The average age
of residents is 89. Most are women.
