Friends,
We're excited to continue our journey to put more money on the front lines of mental health and addictions across Canada. Particularly exciting this month - Alan Doyle is turning the
Big 5-0! And, he's celebrating by asking Canadians to help grant his wish of more Dollar-A-Dayers!
We visited with the fantastic teams at the Salvation Army's Vancouver Harbour Light program, and Thrive CYN in St. John's, NL, to present them with a donation on behalf of all Dollar-A-Dayers. Together, donors from all across the map are putting more money on the front-lines of mental health and addictions care, and we are so proud to be a part of it!
We're also pleased to welcome our newest corporate partner, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, to the Foundation.
When we launched the Foundation, our goal was to engage corporate partners who understood the impact that mental health and addictions has on their employees, and in their communities. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is one of those companies. Their support shows real leadership and we are delighted to partner with such a forward-thinking, innovative organization.
If you have not contributed yet, you can be a part of this movement for improved mental health and addictions care! Please consider becoming a
Dollar-A-Dayer
- together we
can
make a difference!
All the best,
Brendan, Alan & Andrew

A Visit to Vancouver's Harbour Light
On May 6
th
and 7
th
, Alan Doyle made a visit to Vancouver, BC, home of the
Salvation Army's Vancouver Harbour Light program
. He met with the team for a tour of their facility, and had an opportunity to speak with some of the clients who avail of their services.
“The opioid crisis is a growing issue right across this country. The team at Harbour Light in Vancouver are leaders in effective treatment, and have significant frontline experience and knowledge that can be shared with other programs right across the country. The work that the Harbour Light program is doing to support adults moving forward from substance use disorder is extraordinary, and provides hope to so many,” says Alan Doyle.
Thanks to our friends at Rogers Media, Alan also had an opportunity to share our mission and speak about the work of the Foundation and the Harbour Light program with
BT Vancouver,
1130 News Radio and
Sportsnet 650!
