• "Right To Play" -- For millions of children living in some of the worst conditions in the world, sport and play can help them to develop self-esteem, build confidence, learn tolerance, and give them hope for a better future. Our donations can make a difference. Right to Play can ensure that chilren have access to regular structured sport and play activties that help them to develop self esteem, a sense of belonging and become role models for other children. It doesn't take much to make a huge difference in a child's life. In Feb, we are raising money to help these children in conjuction with some of Canada's top Olympic Atheletes! See February calendar for more info.
