We Are A Community Organization
Established in 1956
Fundraising Proceeds Donated Back to the Community
For over 69 years, the Chantry Island Cham-bettes, a not-for-profit, community based Corporation, have been promoting the best interests of the community, to further goodwill and understanding through personal development, community service and good fellowship. In these years, over 280 women have found that membership in our organization has enhanced their lives, brought lasting friendships and a lot of enjoyment, while finding worthwhile community projects in which to get involved. All money raised is given back to the community.
We welcome and support all women of all backgrounds and age. We are an active group involved in our community. We all depend on each other to produce the best volunteer experience we can, putting the ‘fun’ into fundraising.

Our 50/50 tickets are being sold in support of a great cause and one that Cham-bettes hold dear. Bernie's Boat does wonderful work with breast cancer survivors. The team has come together with a common cause, which provides encouragement, camaraderie and a good workout. They've also become an impressive and competitive rowing team thanks to their amazing coach. You can't miss them rowing on the Saugeen River in their pink dragon boat, which they affectionately call Pearl.
Tickets are available through Cham-bettes and Bernie's Boat members.
Recent recipients have been Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Pryde Aquatic and Wellness Centre, all four local foodbanks, Chapman House, Huron Shores Hospice, Swimming/Skating Programs and local schools.
