Camp Oochigeas looking for help sending kids to camp

Camp Oochigeas wants Parry Sound’s help to send a child to camp.

Camp Ooch is a summer camp for children with cancer. It’s located east of Rosseau.

Bill McMeekan spoke to council on behalf of the camp Tuesday night in hopes of receiving funding to pay for a child to attend the camp.

Sending a child to Camp Ooch for two weeks totals around $4,000.

McMeekan, who has terminal cancer, says he will also be asking Seguin Township for a similar donation at a council meeting on October 2nd. He added that if his energy keeps up he will be making similar visits to other municipalities in the Parry Sound area.

Council passed a motion to include discussions of sponsoring a child to attend Camp Ooch in their 2018 budget discussions.
