Weston Frontlines Centre, known as Frontlines, offers after-school programs and summer day camp to the children and youth of the Weston community, located in the north-west corner of Toronto. At Frontlines, we strive to serve the whole child - physically, mentally, socially and spiritually - in a neighbourhood that is under-served and designated one of the City's priority areas. We provide a friendly environment where people feel cared for and safe - a place where children and youth are encouraged to choose a healthy lifestyle and constructive alternatives to further their growth and development. Our theme is "bringing people together" because we believe that for our children and youth to excel, the entire community - parents, businesses, officials, other social organizations - need to be involved and engaged in their development.

Throughout the world, programs like the one in Canada offer opportunities for youth to continually learn to adapt and overcome each challenge they encounter along their course.

Founded in 1999, the FGM is modeled after the 700-odd community foundations that already exist in Canada and the United States. Their versatility, flexibility, and effectiveness allow these foundations to satisfy both the wishes of donors and the needs of the charitable organizations they benefit. The FGM differs from other charitable organizations in that it builds endowment funds, the revenues from which are used to support charitable work in a number of areas, primarily health, education, social development, arts and culture, and the environment. Donations to the FGM thus serve the Greater Montreal community in perpetuity.
