Happy Canada Day. Opencity Inc. think giving a spotlight to charities is important and one way we can be socially responsible.
Here is a round-up of the charity spotlights we have featured since Easter, which have spanned 3 continents.
It has been truly inspiring to learn more about the work they do. They each show remarkable innovation in their business models and demonstrate how they have engaged passionate advocates.
We encourage you to look back at them and uncover ways in which you can also support their work.

- Aspire
- Back Up
- WCSWR – Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region
- Cure Brain Cancer
- Milton Transitional Housing
- Autism Canada
