A financial gift for the George Jeffrey Children’s Foundation.

The Fort William Rotary Club has donated $150,000, which will help support the new School-Based Rehabilitation Program (SBRS).

The north site housed in the Boys & Girls Club of Thunder Bay will have building retrofits, program supplies and leasing costs covered.

The program will provide services such as Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech-Language Pathology to school-age children mostly in their publicly funded school.

According to a release, almost 1,200 school-aged children receive support for one or more of the services provided in this program and almost 800 are waiting for an assessment.
