Our Friends are Making this World a Better Place
what we support, what we support
If you are checking out this page then you undoubtedly care about people. We do too. We travel Canada and see first hand what the challenges are in our communities. There are some big ones. They aren’t easy. Sometimes they are not comfortable. We also have witnessed what is possible when everyday Canadians put together their resources with a mind to improving our collective quality of life. We encourage you to learn more about all of the communities, charities, government organizations and non for profits we have listed. There will no doubt be some important place or cause in our list that speaks to you. Please get involved today. Some people think the only ones who can afford to get involved in charities or non for profit causes are the financially wealthy.
Every Canadian can become involved in these things or their own community. Recently we learned of a young girl from Toronto that sent her last 5 dollars to help a family that tragically lost loved ones in an accident right before Christmas. This little girl didn’t see any boundary. She only knew she had 5 dollars and that might help. We also know that volunteers are needed in many of the different organizations that are listed below. We have carefully considered and vetted all of these organizations. In the case of listed charitable or non for profit organizations below we are proud to say we have contributed. The communities listed are places we have been with the program. The government organizations are ones we have worked with to shine a light on our amazing communities. You can also look at the list below to see all of the non for profits and charities we have directly supported. Also the communities and government organizations we have worked with and supported with our efforts.

I meet the best people I have come to know when
I am volunteering. It is a super way to make a difference and an amazing way
to meet friends and like minded people.
Organizations We Support
The Discovery House in Calgary is a fantastic organization that provides care to women and children who are victims of domestic violence. They provide transitional housing at the shelter and community. Discovery House also provides counselling for these families, and fun programs for children to enjoy while staying in housing.
Many Calgary businesses, local and provincial governments contribute to the funding of the organization, striving to change societal views of domestic violence and provide a safe space for conversation. The video here was made in conjunction with a local Calgary business, Inside Out, to create awareness. Watch the video here to learn more about the Discovery House and how you can help contribute.
Canadian Mental Health Association, Horizon Housing
The 10th Annual Fish & Chips Golf Tournament
& Fly Fishing derby
Early in 2014 we were approached by a good friend who had participated in an event benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association and Horizon Housing. He explained that CMHA and Horizon were about to stage their 10th Annual event named fish & chips golf tournament and fly fishing derby. The idea behind the event is that golfers and anglers meet up at the end of a day of doing what they love, golfing and fishing.
During our first meeting it was brought to our attention that Kelly Hrudey and his daughter Kaitlin would be participating in the event. Indeed Kaitlin was to be the guest speaker at the dinner to talk about her challenges with OCD (obsession compulsive disorder). Her father Kelly was the honorary chair of the event and he came out fishing for a day with us on the program to talk about the event and his experience with Kaitlin and how important it is to talk about mental health.
The video below features Kaitlin Hrudey talking about her experience with OCD and we strongly encourage you to watch the video and become involved. You can volunteer, donate or sponsor the 11th Annual Fish & Chips event.
