Former Domtar employees turned a recent reunion into a way to give back, raising funds for Carefor Hospice Cornwall while reconnecting with former co-workers. The gathering, held at the Army, Navy, Air Force Club (ANAF) in Cornwall, became a Domtar reunion-fundraising event, with all proceeds directed to the local hospice.

In total, $2,805 was raised and presented to Rhonda Simpson, Fundraising Manager with Carefor Hospice Cornwall. “We are grateful to the former Domtar employees for choosing Carefor Hospice Cornwall as the beneficiary of their reunion fundraiser. Support from third-party events like this makes a meaningful difference to the families we serve, and we truly appreciate their generosity,” said Simpson.

Domtar’s former pulp and paper mill once dominated Cornwall’s waterfront and economy, employing close to 1,500 people at its peak before closing in 2006. Today, Carefor Hospice Cornwall, a 10-bed residential hospice on Second Street West, continues to rely on community support to provide free, compassionate end-of-life care for residents and their families.
