The effort was organized by an employee-led "caring Committee" as part of an initiative to support and recognize local organizations that have been impacted by the ongoing pandemic.
"We’ve always set aside budget to support the communities where we work and do business, however this year our team has really ramped up that effort given the many challenges that have hit our region hard. Many businesses are suffering due to quarantine measures, and our public safety and healthcare professionals are feeling more stress than ever," said president of Peel & Holland Roy Riley.
The donation was also part of a plan to support a local restaurant, The Big Apple Cafe.
