Giving to those who give back.
For the past six years, we’ve proudly partnered with the CHL to celebrate these incredible daily heroes, supporting their efforts and inspiring others along the way.
This year, we’re excited to announce our 3 finalists—and now it’s your turn to decide who will take home the top prize!
Here’s what’s at stake:
- Grand Prize Winner will receive a $25,000 donation to the charity of their choice.
- Runner-Up Winners will each receive $5,000 donations to the charities of their choice.
That’s $35,000 going back into Canadian communities!
