Espace-Famille Villeray was born in 1988 on the willingness of parents to afford respite through a babysitting service.

The Temiskaming Foundation was formed in 1994 in New Liskeard, Ontario. A group of businessmen learned how small communities in the United States were prospering through the work of their own community foundations. They reasoned that if other communities could benefit through the work of their community foundations why not start one in the Tri-Town. A local foundation would allow Tri Town residents to donate to the community with the assurance that funds would be directed where they were most needed. By 2002 there were 33 funds with a total amount exceeding $1,000,000. In 2001 these same funds provided over $42,000 to be given out in grants within the community. Established funds range from those that benefit many graduating high school students, the elderly, local arts and culture activities, New Liskeard Public School, the Temiskaming Music Festival, Temiskaming Art Gallery, local museums. Undesignated funds benefit worthy causes across many sectors of the community.
