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

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.
