Founder ~ Eva Leflar
Born August 21, 1919 – December 26, 2012
Welcome
In 1990, Eva started the Eva Leflar Foundation, with a mandate to provide support to the children of Owen Sound and Grey countys. In its 30+ year history, her Foundation has helped financially disadvantaged kids from our area join Choirs, Musical Ensembles, Sports Teams, Drama Groups, provided scholarships to graduating high school students, and attendees at several Ontario universities, and help local and area hospitals to provide better neo-natal and child care.
True to her word, and genuinely charitable nature, Eva has truly made a difference for hundreds of children from her beloved home town. While she will be dearly missed, Eva has left a legacy that will not soon be forgotten.

About Eva Leflar
Born in Annan Ontario in August of 1919, Eva was an only child of James and Emma Leflar. She lived her entire life in the Owen Sound area, and was very fond of and extremely loyal to the community. Eva never married, or had a family of her own, but family was very important to her. She always had close ties with her own, especially with her closest cousin, George Frizzell. She held a variety of careers in business, including bookkeeping in the accounts department at Edwards.
