The Tbaytel for Good Community Fund will see a couple of small but exciting changes for 2023 as submissions can be for any amount up to $10,000, allowing for the possibility of numerous winners this year. Selections will be made by a panel of diverse community judges rather than public voting to ensure the maximum amount of good can be done throughout northern Ontario.
