Now, this is a real 2’s day! This year, we get to celebrate Toonie Tuesday on a date that drives home the idea of collecting toonies – 02.22.2022! It’s like it’s meant to be; so let’s make this our biggest year yet!

Last year, we acknowledged that the needs of students had increased due to the global COVID-19 Pandemic. The truth is, the need has increased even more! At the Education Foundation of Ottawa, we believe that “it’s about what kids deserve”, and every student deserves to have the tools they need to be successful. That’s why we’re here. We want to reduce barriers to ensure ALL students can learn confidently. We do this by providing appropriate access to food, clothing, school supplies, healthcare supports, and opportunities for learning and recreation.

I’m sure you’d agree; every child deserves to be successful! The challenges students face are most likely, and often, out of their control. Thanks to the Principals, Vice-Principals, and Social Workers who request support on their behalf, the Education Foundation of Ottawa is here to help.
