Community

Charity begins at home

I have always believed that giving back to the community is a responsibility of every individual. It was with this belief that I started my very first contribution to Rick Hansen Foundation over 25 years ago. Since then, over the years, my personal involvement with various charitable organizations include Make a Wish Foundation, Suicide Hot Line, Christmas Bureau and many other fundraisers.

In 2003, by chance I came across an organization which has since stayed close to my heart and soul and continues to be a passion of myself and my company – Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. It has been a place which is home away from home for families with children that are battling terminal illness, but it is all about ‘Embracing Life’ however long that may be. This is a cause that I am extremely passionate about and feel very honored and privileged to be a part of as a volunteer and committee member for the Gift of Time gala.
