The Canadian Hero Fund is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting Canadian military personnel and their families. The Canadian Hero Fund was founded by a group of students at the University of Toronto who were deeply impacted by the increasing number of Canadian casualties and the young families they left behind. As a non-political civilian charity, the Canadian Hero Fund raises money through community, grassroots efforts. The Canadian Hero Fund also acts as a conduit for all Canadians to show their support and care for military families and their sacrifice. Your donation to the Canadian Hero Fund represents your commitment to the brave men and women of the Canadian Forces, to the families of fallen soldiers, and to the children who have lost their Hero. By giving to the Canadian Hero Fund you can help keep their dreams alive. If you have any questions please contact us at info@herofund.ca or call 1-888-602-3071.

Concrètement, le Centre solidarité jeunesse offre des formations alternatives et des espaces adaptés aux besoins des jeunes qui vivent des difficultés avec le milieu scolaire régulier. Notre priorité au Centre : guider les jeunes dans la prise de conscience de leur plein potentiel. Que ce soit pour le maintien à l'école ou pour une réinsertion professionnelle ou scolaire, notre équipe démontre une créativité et une capacité d'adaptation exceptionnelles. Quand nous voyons des jeunes décrocheurs arriver à l'avance, rester avec l'équipe pendant les pauses et les dîners et même revenir une fois le projet terminé, nous savons que nous tenons quelque chose!

Gardening Skills - we co-ordinate free educational gardening activities for both adults and children. 4. Community Involvement - we host Kingston’s Grow a Row campaign, encouraging everyone to plant a little extra for donation to local meal programs. 5. Community Kitchens - we run free community kitchen programming to help preserve some of the food we collect and to teach food preserving skills.
