The crew committed to supporting community causes

What happens when City staff come together not just to serve the community but to support it in meaningful, hands-on ways? You get the Community Support Team.

In this episode, Janet Ferland, Adam Beres, and James Cronshaw are sharing how this staff-led group has grown from supporting a single cause to championing dozens of local initiatives. From food drives and fundraising barbecues to mitten trees and period product campaigns, this team is a behind-the-scenes force for good in Welland.

We’re talking about the events they host, the organizations they support, and the impact these efforts have on both the community and the staff involved. Plus, we get a sneak peek at what’s new for them in 2025.

If you’ve ever dropped off a donation at City Hall or bought a raffle ticket, this episode shows how it all adds up—and why it matters.
