As a proud Canadian company, we are committed to investing in the communities where we live and work to build a stronger Canada. This includes providing greater access to healthcare, education and social services to underserved communities.
In Scarborough, one of Canada’s most diverse communities, we were proud to join the Scarborough Health Network, the YMCA of Greater Toronto, the United Way Greater Toronto, and community stakeholders at a special ground-breaking ceremony in June at the Bridletowne Neighbourhood Centre.
A first-of-its kind project in Ontario, the community hub will bring vital programs, healthcare, and inclusive community spaces together under one roof as a leading example of community-based wrap-around care.
The Centre will also be a hub for kidney disease prevention, education, and dialysis to support growing demand in Scarborough, a Toronto-area hotspot for chronic kidney disease.
Rogers Communications and Lisa Rogers made a combined $5 million donation to the Love, Scarborough campaign, committed to providing equitable healthcare to Scarborough residents. $2 million of this donation will directly support the Bridletowne Neighbourhood Centre.
This investment is one more way Rogers is helping to strengthen Canadian communities for generations to come.
