Students in the second semester of the Office Administration program at Georgian’s Muskoka Campus recently presented the Bracebridge Public Library with a generous donation toward the cost of repairing water damage to the Muskoka Collection area of the library. The library, a vital community partner, also hosts the campus’ collection.

Students undertook a series of fundraisers on campus through the winter semester, including bake sales, barbecue lunches, “chili days”, penny sales, and sales of flower bulbs. They also contacted local radio station, Moose FM, which promoted their efforts on the air.

The students surpassed their initial goal of raising $500, more than tripling that amount to $1,690.

Bracebridge Mayor Don Coates, along with Bracebridge Public Library CEO Cathryn Rodney, expressed their sincere appreciation for the generous gift and commended the students for showing initiative.
