"This kind of philanthropy is unique. And, we've moved from a small office the size of a clothes closet to larger upstairs quarters at Town Chev Olds." In February 1998, the volun­ teer-driven Great Dream Home Lottery became a CFO partner. Describing the CFO as a "cata­ lyst for community projects," Frederick said "being a catalyst meant joining forces with the hard­ working volunteers of the Great Dream Home Lottery" which has raised more than $2 million shared by the Oakville Red Cross, United Way, Ontario Special Olympics, and Oakville Heritage Trust. Last year, the Great Dream Home Lottery raised more than $342,000 for Ontario Special Olympics. This year, lottery pro­ ceeds will be shared by the OTMH Charitable Corporation and the Oakville Y Capital Campaign. At same month, the CFO launched the Oakville Heritage Trust Fund, in response to widespread expressed interest in preserv­ ing the town's heritage. Volunteers representing 20 local organizations become involved with its two initial projects, Oakville Remembered, and the Oakville Heritage Trails. Oakville Remembered is a video series produced in partner­ ship by Sheridan College and Cogeco Cable 23, sponsored by Ian Martin Ltd., Oakville Chamber of Commerce, Alex and Bernice DeMaio Foundation Fund, and the Oakville Beaver. This series featur­ ing six personal accounts of tum- of-the-century life, currently broadcasting on Cable 23, will become part of the town's official archives. The Oakville Heritage Trail will be launched this fall as a commu­ nity partnership between the Town of Oakville, the Oakville 2000 Millennium Committee, and the CFO. A system of 54 kilometres of trails linking north and south, east and west and linking Oakville's 100 kilometres of existing trails will feature signage at significant historical, environmental and recreational sites. "The long term goal is to create a $2 million heritage endowment," said Catherine Hurley, who after two years,- leaves as Oakville Heritage Trust Fund chair. The CFO's most recent grant is to the Oakville Arts Council for a project called Telling a Different Story. "This innovative program focuses on anti-racism trough writ­ ing and links six schools through the Internet with two professional Canadian writers," said Wilson. The project, linking six high schools, will "focus on awareness and familiarity between students of different cultures as a means of combating racism," and develop­ ing writing skills. Partners in this project, along With the Oakville Arts Council and CFO are the Town of Oakville and the Halton Multi-Cultural Council. And Frederick announced a new fundraising initiative, the CFO's first Marathon of Golf, 33 golfers playing 100 holes of golf on July 12th at Blue Springs Golf Club in Acton.
