ALS Canada Buck-A-Puck for ALS is a grassroots fundraising initiative that brings together a passion for hockey with an unwavering commitment to supporting the ALS Society of Canada’s (ALS Canada) research program across the country. We aim to create a lasting impact by raising awareness and vital funds to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

The concept is simple yet powerful: For every dollar raised, players will take a shot on net – whether in a game, on their own time at home, or playing with friends. Ten dollars equals ten shots, $100 equals 100 shots – you get the idea! Whether you’re cheering from the stands or following the game from the comfort of your home, you can participate in this fun-loving initiative by making a simple donation.

A charitable organization that lives its values of accountability, collaboration, compassion, integrity, resiliency and respect, ALS Society of Canada works with the ALS community to improve the lives of people affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis through support, advocacy and investment in research for a future without ALS.

Fully funded by donors, we were fortunate to benefit from the generosity of Canadians during the Ice Bucket Challenge of 2014, and are now focused on implementing our 2018 to 2023 strategic plan in support of the following long-term impacts:

- people affected by ALS receive the best possible standard of care;
- more treatments are available to improve quality of life and extend lifespan; and
- people are empowered to make informed decisions about ALS.

Our world is challenging. The people we serve are dealing with a devastating illness. But in the midst of it, their resiliency and spirit is remarkable and moving. You will be touched by the community and will find a way to naturally and effectively engage.

We provide services and support to thousands in our community with a mental health and/or addiction concern. Supports include Counseling and Treatment, Addiction Services, Supported Independent Living, Intensive Case Management, Justice/Court Support Services, Housing Services, Vocational Services and others. Client service sites located in Kingston and Napanee as well as by appointment in Amherstview, Verona, Sharbot Lake, Northbrook and others.

If you, your spouse or family member, a friend or a neighbour, are living with dementia, or are caring for someone living with dementia, WE CAN HELP!

We can help to provide community resources and information, individual and family counselling, support groups for those diagnosed and for caregivers, recreational programs, music and art therapy, and so much more.

The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) is Canada’s sole network devoted to changing behaviours that help slow down, avoid or mitigate the risks of frailty in older adults. It also improves care for older Canadians living with frailty by supporting their families and caregivers.

Founded 30 years ago, PCMH’s commitment to support, education, and empowerment has guided the organization’s work and dedication to families. Through meaningful engagement and family-centred care, PCMH has empowered families so their voices are heard and recognized as experts.
In 2020, PCMH became a program of Children’s Mental Health Ontario. By working together, we can advance family partnerships, family engagement and family peer support in child and youth mental health.
We believe children, youth and their families suffering from mental health challenges deserve extreme respect and validation. We are dedicated to improving the lives of these families through support, education and empowerment.

Our goal is to raise awareness for patients, providers, politicians and media of the many real challenges faced today in accessing health care in Kingston and the Southeast LHIN (Local Health Integrated Network). Educate, inform and engage our community on Bill 41 and ensure at its enactment it is written and empowered to benefit the health of all Ontarians.
