The Oxford Community Foundation is seeing its Executive Director retire after nearly 10 years in that role.
WOODSTOCK - An extraordinary career is coming to an end with the Oxford Community Foundation.
After nearly a decade of service as Executive Director, Louise Wardrop is retiring.
Under her direction, which began in November 2016, the Foundation has experienced strong growth with total funds increasing by $3.5 million. Grants from local legacy and community funds rose from $26,000 in 2016 to $240,000 in 2025.
A career centred around local organizations and initiatives has resulted in more than $2.2 million in grants being reinvested back into the Oxford County community.
The board is actively planning for a smooth leadership transition and will share more information at a later date
