Greetings!, 


We hope you are as excited about summer as we are! We'd like to take this opportunity to share with you the many ways The Redwood community continues to inspire us. We really couldn't do what we do - day in and day out - without your dedication, so thank you.   

We Are so Grateful for Our Amazing Volunteers! 

National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadians who graciously donate their time and energy.

Back in 1991, volunteers from the Rotary Club of Parkdale - High Park started work on transforming a rundown warehouse into a welcoming safe haven for moms and kids fleeing abuse. Thanks to their commitment and enthusiasm, we've been able to help hundreds of families rebuild their lives. 


On behalf of everyone here, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our incredible volunteers, like Evan Tapper, for their hard work and dedication - you're all so terrific!

Speaking of our incredible team of volunteers...
