After a decade of declining global poverty, world hunger is on the rise again, and they need your help.

It's no secret that our planet's environment is in great danger. As a society, we must protect and restore the ecosystems around us. Fortunately, many organizations are trying to make a change and have made good progress over the years. A small part of some of the big wins in which provincial foundations have played a role are: more land added to Ontario's greenbelt, reduced gas consumption, passage of Bill C-15, adoption of the federal law on endangered species, etc. There is still a lot more work to do and there are easy ways to help. Show your support towards the environment now.

During their lifetime, nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer. In 2017, more than 200,000 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer, and the disease claimed the lives of approximately 80,000 Canadians. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. Ideally, the death rate for many cancers continues to decline in Canada. However, cancer death rates increase dramatically for liver cancer in men and women, and uterine cancer in women. Support these victims today.
