The initiative began when Lynn Horton, a passionate quilter, decided to put the scraps from her past quilting projects to good use. Realizing her apartment was overflowing with bags of leftover fabric, she saw an opportunity to create something meaningful for her community. The idea of making quilts for people in need took shape, and many others eagerly joined her mission.

Each November, the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) and its teams unite to grow moustaches in support of Movember, raising funds for vital health projects. One of the movement’s standout contributors is former SJHL player DJ McGrath, who runs the Mental Health Classic, a hockey tournament dedicated to raising money for mental health support in local communities. Having battled addiction, anxiety, and depression in his youth, DJ found healing through open conversations about his struggles. Now, he has made it his mission to help others facing similar challenges.

On October 25 and 26, 2024, a small community in Nunavut united to provide warmth for hundreds of people in need through a winter clothing drive. The event distributed winter coats, toques, and other cold-weather accessories at the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre, which generously donated its space for the occasion. Over the course of two days, more than 1,000 winter items were given to those in need. These items were collected through donations from the community over the previous month.

A small community in western Prince Edward Island joined forces in a heartfelt effort to honour their local veterans. A large crowd gathered at the Wellington Legion for the unveiling of an impressive display featuring nearly 4,300 hand-knitted and crocheted poppies cascading down the side of the Legion building.

A non-profit organization in Vancouver BC called the Community Services Access Point Society received a surprising donation of 600 pairs of waterproof shoes from a local shoe company called Vessi. Timothy Moorley, the founder and CEO of the Community Services Access Point Society, explained that the importance of dry feet in the coming months can not be overstated. While a sweater can keep people warm, he believes that keeping people's feet dry in the coming rainy months is key to keeping them warm and in good spirits. Moorley had begun distributing the shoes to the DownTown EastSide Vancouver residents shortly after receiving the donation, which came at a crucial time following the first atmospheric river of the fall season.
