The charities that serve those in need also need our help right now. Revenue has declined, demand for services has only increased, and a critical component of our social safety net is coming undone when we need it most.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Maya Roy, Jocelyn Formsma, and Owen Charters to discuss how the federal government can and should step in to support charities.
Maya Roy is the CEO of the YWCA Canada, Jocelyn Formsma is the executive director of the National Association of Friendship Centres, and Owen Charters is the president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.
