A couple local organizations have received a big boost from a renewable energy company with local links.
Evolugen - formerly known as Brookfield Renewable - presented the Rotary Club of Wawa with a $5500 cheque on Saturday.
Rotarian Mark Owen explains the funds will help cover the costs for the Radio Auction - coming at the end of April - and will support an important local program.
In addition to supporting the Rotary Club, Evolugen recently presented a $15,000 cheque to the Michipicoten Volunteer Firefighters Association, intended to help with the purchase of "jaws of life" equipment, a battery-powered telescopic rescue ram, that can help extricate someone from a vehicle.
