Red Cross – After Hurricane Fiona we felt compelled to help out! The Canadian Red Cross is a leader in supporting Canadians to remain living in their homes safely and with dignity through innovative and compassionate community health services.

L’Actia, - L’Actia is an association that provides a support center for people living with a physical and/or sensory disability in Témiscamingue. We have close friends and family members who are active in this association and who use their services daily. It was near and dear to our hearts to give back to our community for this cause. https://cdctemiscamingue.org/nos-membre/actia/
We also volunteer our time and enjoy being active in our community of Témiscamingue Québec.
Ferme Chez Lyne et Sylvain – Lyne and Sylvain are great friends who have been associated with the Centre de Prévention du Suicide du Témiscamingue since 2017. Every year they donate between 1500-2000$ to the cause. In 2022 we volunteered on the farm and drove a 1947 tractor and wagon to pull little children and their families around the farm and enjoy the beautiful pumpkin harvesting season.
