HALTON HILLS, ON – Organizers of the Three Musketears Golf Tournament recently made a $9,464.49  donation to the new Acton Youth Centre. The funds will be used towards furnishings and recreational opportunities for the outdoor patio space.

The annual golf tournament established in memory of three local youth, Mark Everson, Travis Toth and Rory Dick has been held for the past 17 years.  Since then, family and friends of the trio have raised and donated funds in their honour to various community initiatives, including the Three Musketears Skatepark, in Acton.

“We are thrilled that the families and friends of the Three Musketears have chosen the Acton Youth Centre as the recipient of their generous donation,” said Mayor Rick Bonnette. “This act of kindness serves to support and enhance opportunities for youth in the Acton community and continues the legacy of the loved ones who tragically passed so many years ago.”

The Acton Youth Centre, located at 19 Willow Street North (within the Acton Town Hall), opened its doors to the community this fall. It will serve as a hub of activity and a place for youth to gather, recreate, socialize, learn, collaborate, innovate, access local services, and grow.

As part of the Town’s youth services, the municipality operates two youth centres with locations in Acton and Georgetown. Both centres are operated by trained staff in partnership with social service agencies including Reach Out Centre for Kids (ROCK), ADAPT and Support House.  All programs are provided at no charge and open to youth ages 12 -24 years old.  For more information, please visit haltonhills.ca/youth.
