S.A.I.N.T.S Rescue
SAINTS is a sanctuary for senior and special-needs animals who have nowhere else to go. In their care, each animal receives the medical attention they need, lives in a safe and open environment, and is given the chance to enjoy their remaining years surrounded by compassion and dignity. When the right special home becomes available, SAINTS works to make that match possible. And if that home never comes, these animals will remain safe, loved, and cherished at SAINTS for the rest of their lives.
Starfish Program
Many students across the province rely on school meal programs during the week, but face food insecurity on weekends when those supports aren’t available. Starfish Pack helps bridge that gap by providing students with a discreet backpack of food each weekend throughout the school year. Each pack includes two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, and snacks, prepared and delivered by volunteers to local schools. For approximately $600, one backpack can support a student for an entire school year. What began as a small initiative has grown to serve students in over 24 communities across British Columbia.
Movember
Movember is a month-long initiative that invites people to grow mustaches, support those who do, and spark conversation while raising funds for men’s health. The movement focuses on critical issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health, helping to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support life-changing programs for men around the world.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been championing the health and well-being of young people. By stepping in early, they help prevent the lasting physical and mental effects of adverse childhood experiences. Through the guidance of caring adult mentors, children as young as seven receive the support they need to overcome challenges and build brighter futures, growing stronger physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and academically.
Terry Fox Foundation
Inspired by Terry’s courage and determination, the Terry Fox Foundation unites and motivates people around the world to fundraise for life-saving cancer research, driving progress toward a future without cancer.
Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee. While in the hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope.
Terry’s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run on September 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs.
By February 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized – the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million. Terry died in June 1981.
Indian Residential School Survivors Society
Since 1994, the IRSSS has been supporting First Nations people in B.C., just ten years after the last Indian Residential School in the province closed. The organization provides emotional and cultural support to survivors and intergenerational survivors during difficult times, including the uncovering of unmarked graves. The IRSSS also offers specialized services for families and communities affected by Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), as well as intergenerational survivors aged 12–18 in the criminal justice system, helping them connect with culture and build healthy relationships.
