CLOsure2025, the first all-women’s crew, will be paddling a dragon boat across Lake Ontario to raise funds for OFILD. 

We will start from Niagara-on-the-Lake & paddle to Toronto, approxmately 51.5 kilometres on June 20, 2025 

Given the well-documented housing crisis, please lend us a hand in supporting Options for Independent Living & Development. They provide housing and support services for adults with special needs. There are many worthy charities out there, but we feel that OFILD is a worthy charity and dear to us. 

Please share this post with family, friends & your community.
