Now, more than ever, you are needed.

Launching our 2023 fundraising campaign

More than ever, our city and province needs people who can work across our difference for the common good.

Today we are launching our fundraising campaign. And we need your help. We are asking people to consider setting up of monthly contribution or making a one-time contribution to support our ongoing efforts.

Recently we have heard stories about the impact that our work together has had. One leader told me how our campaign to have the City’s Mental Health strategy passed, has resulted in funding that has enabled them to use sports to talk with youth about mental health and to work with moms to build family mental wellness.

Another person told me about how vital the low-income transit pass is to their clients and how with the rising cost of living, their clients rely on it to get to their appointments and around the city. In my own life, when my children have expressed their despair at the older generations not taking action to address climate change, I point them toward the work we have done to have our city pass and fund its climate strategy.

I myself have seen their despair shift to hope.

At the annual leaders retreat, our leaders gathered and reviewed our impact on our city and province. We were amazed to see that the approximate value of the social impact we have had now totals over $5.4 billion dollars. This is the power of citizens working together for the common good, with our actions over the last four years since our founding assembly creating tangible, substantive change for our community.

It hasn’t always been easy. But, together, we can continue to rally to create a city that we can be proud to pass on to the next generation, that includes all races, creeds and backgrounds, and marshall our collective power to press for a better world. And to do that, we need your support.
