If you have the means to do so, consider signing up to be a 'dollar a day-er'. This organization is doing incredible things to support mental health and addictions care. Yesterday was a big day of giving for them. Well done @alanthomasdoyle, @BrendanPaddick and @adollaradayfdn 🙏
Your dollars are hard at work @adollaradayfdn community! We spent the day catching up with our friends & distributing over $225,000 to proven programs who affect #ChangeEveryDay on the frontlines of mental health & addictions care! Together our dollars are making an impact.

It's a snowy day in Toronto. The perfect day to share our 8th Holiday Hack. It's a reminder to give the gift of kindness this season. Not sure who to support? Consider @feedthefrontto @salvationarmy or @thescottmission . Want more Holiday Hacks? Visit ow.ly/yrge50CGP3k
Love the idea of Hack the Holidays
While we can't enjoy holiday concerts the way we used to, there are some wonderful online events - tso.ca/messiahcomplex at the @TorontoSymphony - to help us go digital with this tradition. Love this Holiday Hack? There are several more at orangegate.ca/hacking-the-ho… for more!

This quote from #RBG epitomizes why I ran for public office.
She taught me so much about bringing together people together & fighting for what's right. I know the next generation of amazing women will carry on her legacy by continuing the fight for justice & equality. ♥️🔥
