Our motto is "WE SHARE" and over the past 64 years our service mandate has been to assist the deaf, deafened and hard of hearing and support disadvantaged women and children in our communities.
 
At the District level we support by:
Providing fellowships & bursaries to deaf & hard of hearing individuals and interpreters through the Helene MacKenzie & Past Governors Trust Fund
Supporting camps for the deaf across Ontario
Supporting training of Hearing Ear Dogs
Supporting Care Canada projects
Supporting women's shelters and breast cancer patients
 
Internationally we support Quota International by donating funds that support the We Share Foundations Club-to-Club service projects in impoverished areas around the world.  We also support UNICEF and Care Canada undertakings, specifically the Vocational Training for Afghan Women Project.
 
Check out the various club links and view the many and varied service projects that are being carried out in each local community.
