Canada Post Strike

The ongoing Canada Post strike may have you wondering about your holiday gift and how you can make an impact.

How can I make a gift today?
There are several ways to give and make an immediate impact:

• Online: Make your gift securely here
• By Phone: Call us at 905-336-4642 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
• In Person: Visit us at our Foundation office (main floor beside the North Elevators).
• Pick Up: A foundation staff member can pick up the donation from your home, call us to arrange a pick-up time and date.

I’ve already mailed a donation—when will it be received?
Due to the postal strike, mailed donations will take longer to reach us, and donations in transit are stalled in place until the strike is over. We will process your gift as soon as possible once it arrives.

When will I receive my tax receipt?
Tax receipts for mailed donations will be sent once postal services resume. We appreciate your patience! If you would like to receive your tax receipt sooner, please contact us and we will send it by email or you can come pick it up at the foundation office.

If my donation is received after December 31, will it still qualify for a 2024 tax receipt?
All cheques dated on or before December 31 will be eligible for a 2024 tax receipt.

Will my gift still be matched?
Yes! All gifts made online or by phone before December 31, 2024 will still qualify to make double the impact. Cheques dated on or before December 31, 2024 will also qualify.

Thank you for your support and understanding!
