Late this November Chair of the North Bay and Area Community Foundation, Jack Burrows, will celebrate his eightieth birthday. Jack's outstanding legacy in our city includes being recognized as Citizen of the Year. He is most well-known as Former Mayor, serving North Bay from 1994-2003. In addition to this, Jack has been a member of Rotary North Bay since 1972 and has sat on many Boards including that of The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund, The North Bay Sports Hall of Fame, The North Bay Civic Hospital, and more.

In 2006 Jack founded the North Bay and Area Community Foundation. It is their goal to foster a philanthropic spirit in the area and serve as a resource for donors as well as local organizations who have little to no means of acquiring support/funds.

In celebration of Jack's inspiring history in North Bay and the growing NBACF they will be establishing "The Jack Burrows Fund". Named funds offer ways for friends, family members, neighbours, colleagues, foundations and/or corporations to commemorate special individuals. All donations to this fund will be kept in perpetuity and the interest produced will be granted out to local organizations each year.
