FUND RAISING

Bronte Butterfly receives first large private donation

The following is an excerpt from our news release dated February 15, 1999 and subsequently covered by the OAKVILLE BEAVER
The fund raising campaign for the Bronte Butterfly is not even underway yet and the project has already recorded three donations by private individuals.

Former Oakville resident Remy de Bruyn donated $3500 to the project. de Bruyn’s brother Marius, landscape architect and designer of the Bronte Butterfly, jokingly asked Remy if he would want to donate a paving stone to the park. To Marius’ surprise, Remy ended up dedicating a tree to his parents, donating one paving stone each in the name of his four nieces and one nephew, and buying one bench for the whole family. de Bruyn, senior vice-president of a Swiss investment bank, was on a 48-hour stopover to visit family in Oakville and Burlington this past weekend before returned to Switzerland from his North and South American business trip.

At last Wednesday’s (February 10, 1999) Regional Council meeting Lee Bernard, chair of the Bronte Village Business Improvement Area (BIA), divulged during her presentation to Regional Council that "virtually every piece of the park is up for sale. We will be selling pavers from $25 to $500 plus many other items such as trees, gardens and benches to raise funds for the Bronte Butterfly project".

The proposed Bronte Butterfly park project, a Bronte BIA initiative, recorded its first sale shortly after the Regional Council meeting was televised on local Cable Wednesday evening, less than 10 hours after Bernard’s statement. She received a phone call that evening from a friend who inquired about the project and subsequently donated a paver in memory of her father. In an unrelated meeting the day after a Bronte woman purchased five $100-pavers from Bernard as a millennium gift to her five grandchildren.

"We will be asking for donations from private individuals, small companies and large corporations. The campaign will have something for everyone: there will be over 14,000 pavers available at a cost of $25 to $100, all reserved for private individuals; 4700 pavers ranging from $150 to $500, 260 trees/benches from $1000 to $2000, and 22 specialty items from $10,000 to $250,000 open for purchase by individuals, organizations, businesses and corporations." All paving stone donors will have their name engraved on their respective paving stones, all other items will receive special recognition on or near the item purchased," Bernard explained.

"Regional Chair Joyce Savoline was so enthusiastic when I introduced her to this project" Bernard said, "we decided to call it Halton’s Millennium Project. To make it a truly Halton project, we will be asking all residents and businesses in Halton to consider a donation or purchase." MPP Gary Carr and MP Bonnie Brown are petitioning their respective governments for Millennium funding.
