Thanks Milident and Cosmo Dental Labs who provided these new smiles at no charge to our patients!

Evidence-Based Medicine

The evidence shows that poverty and homelessness is a risk to health equivalent to the detrimental effects of hypertension, high cholesteral and smoking. If we devote such a significant amount of effort and resources to treating these health factors, shouldn’t we treat poverty like any equivalent health condition?

Of Course!

How Much Will You Get Back?

Giving starts with a passion to support charities and causes, but shouldn’t stop there! Charitable work is key to making our local communities, country and world a better place. That’s why the Canadian governments offer significant tax credits encouraging all Canadians to give generously.

Reduce your tax bill by:

• Up to 35% of your donations totaling $200 or less
• Up to 53% of your donations totaling more than $200
• New to claiming charitable donations? Get an extra 25% back!
