Thanks Sifton ! The Night of Giving contributed to Rotary's ability to do good works in our community and around the world. Sifton Properties was proud to host A Night of Giving, Dinner & Conversation in partnership with the Rotary Club of London at Riverbend Golf Community. The evening brought together community leaders to discuss housing affordability, youth development, and community well being. We were honoured to hear from Ontario's Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Rob Flack, Mayor of St. Thomas, Joe Preston, and Andrea Topham, CEO of Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), whose insights helped inspire thoughtful discussion. Thank you to our sponsors — Lerners Law Firm, Willow Bridge Homes Ltd. , PC275 Realty and Andrew Crook — for helping make the evening possible. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to important conversations about building stronger, more resilient communities.
