Thank you to @kathleenblack_ for the incredible evening last night at the Canadian premiere of her documentary film, @therelentlessonefilm (part of which was filmed in our Drawing Room)! We were honoured to be the charity of choice at this inspiring event. Kathleen's vulnerability and willingness to share her story reminded us all of the impact of abuse in families and how there is a way out to a better, peaceful, and loving life. The power of mindset was on fully display during this film, and there was not a dry eye in the theatre. Thank you for choosing to donate $25,000 to our Y's WISH Shelter @kathleenblack_! And thank you to @letsgetthuet for connecting Kathleen to our agency.

Thank you to the Ironworkers Local 721 and the Ironworkers Local 721 Motorcycle Club for their incredible $5,000 and $10,500 donations! In addition to this, they delivered loads and loads of toys for everyone. Absolutely amazing. We appreciate everything they’ve done for us over many years. This kind of commitment is rare, and very much appreciated. Now, save the date, for the Poker Run in the first or second weekend in June… stay tuned for that announcement. Thank you so much Ironworkers!!
