Camp Ooch is a camp for children with or affected by cancer, offering day camp, in-city day camp and overnight camp throughout the summer, as well as weekend camps and family programming throughout the year. Camp Ooch is also the only overnight camp in Canada with on-site chemotherapy, IV treatment and blood transfusions.

Known as the social cure for cancer, Camp Ooch has expanded to year-round programs in Muskoka, SickKids, Ooch Downtown and other various centres across Canada.

Dr Jim Whitlock, Head of Hematology/Oncology at The Hospital for Sick Children, explains why this camp is important in the life of these sick children:

“The attitude they develop coming out of Camp is an important part of their therapy and their healing process really helps them to fight their cancer better.”

This summer Budget Propane had the pleasure of working with Camp Ooch to support their amazing cause. Below is a thank you letter from a contact from Ooch Camp:

Winter is just around the corner and it is time to consider whether your cottage or seasonal home is prepared. There are many items on the to-do list in order to fully prepare your summer home or cottage for the winter months. This includes removing and storing any watercraft, water toys and docks, making sure the property is clear of all garbage, sealing doors and windows - the list keeps going on.

There is, however, one task that should be top of mind and may be missing from your list - refilling your propane tank.

In September, Budget Propane and Moore Propane helped with emergency propane training for the surrounding Fire Departments. The 2-day flammable gas and liquid training was conducted by Emergency Response Assistance Canada (ERAC) at Station 3 in Port Sydney, and trained upwards of 25 volunteer firefighters. 

"For the past several years Muskoka firefighters have been able to receive valuable propane handling training right here in their community – instead of driving hours elsewhere – thanks to two local companies", Gary Monahan, Deputy Chief with Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department said.
