Did you know 27% of Canadians report experiencing physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15?

Attention #GuelphStorm hockey fans! Here is a wonderful opportunity to save on game tickets while helping to reduce the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness in #Guelph and #WellingtonCounty.

We were proud to attend the @ChildWitnessCtr 1,000 Challenge celebratory event in Kitchener last night.

More than $25,000 was raised to support 25 child and youth victims in @RegionWaterloo.

In 2023, @ChildWitnessCtr supported over 1,000 local victims.
