This week on Local Matters with Mike Cluett, I sit down with Donna Danielli who in addition to her countless hours of volunteering in Milton is the executive director of Milton Transitional Housing as well as a long time Halton District School Board Trustee.
Recently Milton Transitional Housing wrapped up its annual fundraising campaign called the Coldest Night of the Year Walk where over the last number of years, hundreds of Miltonians lined up outside the Milton Sports Centre to begin a 2km, 5km or 10km walk to raise funds for MTH. This year having to deal with COVID 19 put a few more challenges in front of the organizers but by judging from the amount of money raised this year, exceeded its $70,000 goal by raising well over $80,000.
In part one, Donna talks to us about what Milton Transitional Housing does and its challenges over the 10 years in operation with a stunning 100% success rate and how important these funds raised during the Coldest Night of the Year are to helping local Miltonians in need of help.

In Part two of our discussion, Donna puts her Halton District School Board hat on to provide Milton/Halton residents with updates on school construction, getting the necessary funding for capital projects and dealing with COVID 19 in educating our chidren.
