Our Charities

We have long believed in the value of giving back to the community. The charities that we support are those that are very special to us, not only because of the work that they do, but also because of the dedication of all those involved, and the large percentage of funds collected that actually go to doing the work, rather than paying for “administration” and advertising.

A portion of the funds generated through the memberships will be divided among our favourite charities including:

• The Mustard Seed who do amazing work with the homeless. We appreciate this organization not for just helping the homeless, as much as the way in which they do. They truly offer a hand-up, offering not only emergency services in the form of shelters and so on, but run awesome training programs as well.

• HandiBus is an organization that operates in centers across Canada. We became aquainted with them when my (Ed's) Mom had a stoke in 2006 and was confined to a wheelchair. Since then, one of her few joys came from getting out, and the only feasible way of accomplishing that, was with the Handi-Bus. For a minimal charge Mom could get a ride to her doctor, to get her hearing aids adjusted, or just to get a Timmy's coffee and donut. It was her connection to the rest of the world, and the efficiency and care exhibited by the drivers, the dispatchers, and the organization in general was truly outstanding.
