This past weekend the Sault Ste Marie Diocesan Catholic Women’s League of Canada held their annual convention in North Bay.

During the weekend, a cheque over a $1,000 was presented to the Near North Palliative Care Network.

President Karen McDonald says at each annual convention they identify a local organization that embodies the objects of the league and the Near North Palliative Care network was chosen.

She says it is a volunteer based organization that supports hospice and palliative care services including bereavement and caregiver support.
