🎉 The Grand Parade is Back — Let’s Walk for Kotitalo! 👟💛
📅 Saturday, September 20, 2025

As Chair of the OFRA Foundation, I’m proud to invite you to be part of this year’s Grand Parade — a meaningful walk in support of Kotitalo, our supportive housing building at the Ontario Finnish Resthome.

This year, we’re walking to raise $65,000 to purchase brand-new dining chairs for Kotitalo — helping bring comfort, dignity, and warmth to the heart of their home.

💙 With your help, we’ve already upgraded the dining furniture at Mauno Kaihla Koti in a past parade. Now it’s Kotitalo’s turn — and together, we can do it again.

As someone of Estonian heritage, I feel deeply connected to OFRA’s mission. My journey with the Resthome began as an NOHFC intern, followed by serving as a board member, vice-chair, and now as chair of the Foundation. This cause is truly close to my heart.

🎯 Our Goal: $65,000
👣 Join Us: Walk, donate, or fundraise — every step makes a difference!

💙 Let’s walk with purpose, give with heart, and show our seniors that #LifeIsGrand — because they deserve nothing less.
