1984 Target —x20,000
A modest increase over last year's total of $19,400
The Flowers of Hope campagin has always played a most significant role in enabling the Association to supplement
grants from the Provincial and Municipal governments to finance:
+ Programs not covered by these grants
+ Special equipment/apparatus for training
+ Community awareness and prevention activities
It is important to note that in 1983-84 goods and services generated through the facilities outlined on this page amounted
to $274,600 thus greatly reducing the taxpayers portion.
