100 People Who Share Bruce County surpass $250,000 in donations to local charities
The 100 People Who Share Bruce County group has surpassed $250,000 in donations to local charities.
The organization met for its second meeting of 2025, Monday night (July 28), at Ainsdale Golf Course.
First off, was a thank you from Shirley Steele and Wendy Cox for the $9,460 donation for the Good Food Box Neighbour-to-Neighbour Initiative, which was chosen to receive the April donation.
The group then heard three impassioned presentations from Home and Community Support Services Grey-Bruce, the Bruce Botanical Food Gardens, and the Paddy Walker Heritage Society.
When the votes were tallied, Home and Community Support Services was declared the recipient of this month’s donation.
The 100 People Who Share Bruce County will hold their final meeting of 2025, Monday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m., at Ainsdale Golf Course, where the group will officially honour the $250,000 mark reached July 28.
100 people - one hour - immediate local impact. It's that simple and that powerful.

Written ByBill Pike is a retired elementary school principal. He and his wife, Sharon, have lived in Kincardine for 47 years, enjoying fulfilling careers, rural life, three wonderful children, and four outstanding grandchildren. Golf in the summer (poorly), pickleball, guitar-playing, long leisurely walks, the sunny south and family all fill his time. This project is as an effort by him to share his interest about the topics affecting seniors and how they can advocate for their issues. The statement, “Getting old isn’t for the faint of heart,” is real! The rewards of retirement can sometimes be accompanied by aches, pains, medical concerns, and general wellness issues. In this column, Pike takes a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of senior living. Don’t laugh at age, pray to make it!
