P.O.I.N.T. Inc. (People and Organizations in North Toronto)

The Anne Johnston Fund to Support P.O.I.N.T.

Anne Johnston was a Founder and the third Chair of POINT. She went on to become a City of Toronto Councillor, a Metro Council Councillor and, after amalgamation in 1997, was again elected as a City Councillor. Throughout all these efforts, she worked tirelessly for our community of North Toronto.



In 2004, POINT wished to honour Anne Johnston for her exceptional contribution to the North Toronto community. She requested that instead of honouring her, we establish a fund to support POINT’s work in the community.



Thus “The Anne Johnston Fund to Support POINT” was established and the proceeds of the fund were undesignated. Anne requested that they be available to support POINT’s operating expenses, as this type of funding is very difficult to acquire.



In conjunction with the establishment of this fund, POINT decided to recognize persons who have made an outstanding contribution to the life of this community. Anne Johnston was selected as the first recipient of this distinction in 2004 and a luncheon celebration was held in her honour.



In consultation with Anne, POINT’s Board recommended that Joan Osler be the second recipient to be recognized under the Anne Johnston Fund. POINT is pleased to honour Joan and thanks you for your continuing support of The Anne Johnston Fund.
