Campaign Video
The 2022/2023 campaign is here and we’d like to share with you a little bit more about the work we do, why we do it, and the communities we care about. Together, we can change lives. Together, we are United Way.
Community Services Recovery Fund
Now more than ever, charities and non-profits are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all Canadians. The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities and non-profits as they build resilience by making investments in their people, organizations, and program innovation.
Living Wage
The concept of a living wage is bigger than income. It’s about quality of life. It’s about ensuring our neighbours can afford to pay their rent and buy nutritious food, our workers are healthy and able to pay for transportation to get to work every day and our children are given sufficient social and educational opportunities so they can flourish.
Coldest Night of the Year
