Non-Profit Sector Appreciation Week

This week we are celebrating the second annual Ontario Week of Appreciation for the Non-Profit Sector, thanks to a Private Members Bill, Bill 9, Non-profit Sector Appreciation Week, 2021 by Daisy Wai, MPP for Richmond Hill. Throughout the week, we encourage all MPPs to help celebrate the dedicated and hard-working staff in the not-for-profit sector which adds tremendous value to every local community in our province.

Ontario’s non-profit sector is the largest in Canada, with over 58,000 registered charities and non-profit organizations that offer a wide range of services to children, families and seniors including mental health support, seniors’ services, homeless shelters, services for people who have experienced violence, skills development, specialized help for children, support for people with disabilities, and family support services to programs that promote arts and culture, environmental sustainability and recreation.

The government is grateful to the more than one million Ontarians working in this sector. We celebrate you all this week – and every week – for your incredible work and dedication to the not-for-profit sector.
