The Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team (O.V.E.R.T.) Inc, relies on the generosity of public and corporate citizens for funding. OVERT current receives no regular funding from government sources, as such the support and donations that we receive from the members of the public and corporate communities is of tremendous benefit.
Over the years OVERT has benefited from the donations of funds and equipment from many great supporters.
We would like to thank the following organizations for their support:
Baagwating Community Association and the Mississaugas of Scugog First Nation
For the past several years the Baagwating Community Association as been a valuable supporter of OVERT. The Scugog First Nation is a small aboriginal community located just outside of the Greater Toronto Area. As on of the smallest First Nations in Canada, the Mississaugas has over come numerous obstacles and continue to grow and thrive.
