WAY’s Ontario Pilot Program!

After making a positive impact in Atlantic Canada, we're excited to announce our expansion to Ontario! Thanks to the incredible support from Ontario's generous contribution, we're piloting our concept in the region and are excited to further our reach.

Andrew (Andy) Sarka, 74

Andy has been a Toronto Maple Leafs fan his entire life. He would watch every game on television, dreaming of how incredible it would be to sit in the stands of the Scotiabank Arena cheering on his favorite team. He thought about how incredible it would be to witness the Leafs fan culture and atmosphere come to life with each goal or breakaway, never believing he would get the opportunity to see them play at this stage of his life.

Elise Richard, 79

Elise is a strong, spiritual woman with a big heart. Her wish was to meet Sammy, a well-known horse in Nova Scotia! She recently experienced tragic hardships, and expressed that meeting Sammy is just what she needs now in this moment in time to help her heal and move on. And that it did! Now Elise has a new four legged friend, and an open invitation to come back and visit Sammy!

Francis Warner, 83

Francis Warner has always dreamed of driving in a King transport truck; a wish she always wanted but never thought would be possible, until now, thanks to King Freight Lines. "I hope my mom was watching from above", Francis said, coining this as "the best experience of her life!"

Holiday Happiness Card Campaign

A BIG thank you to everyone who continues to support our Holiday Card Campaign each year. Last year, 1,100 cards were handwritten and delivered to seniors throughout Nova Scotia! We can't wait to kick off this campaign again in fall of 2023!

Barbara Weatherbie, 93

Barbara Weatherbie, 93, has always been a lover of nature and has always enjoyed and cared for the beauty of the world around her. Barbara's wish for many years has been to admire the Marshy Hope area and all of its beauty from the sky. Viewing the beautiful, lush colours of the fall leaves was something she had only ever dreamed of, until now, thanks to Vision Air Services Inc.

Jacob Bondt, 72

It meant the world to Jacob to have his lifelong dream of flying in a helicopter come true. Quoted from Jacob "...this experience gives seniors more energy and a willingness to live and not feel that they are forgotten."

Brenda Reid, 72

Both of Brenda's sisters have lived far enough away from her that time spent together over the years has been few and far between. With all sisters spread throughout the province of Nova Scotia, and never being able to experience a trip together, Brenda's wish has always been to have the three of them reconnect for a weekend away together.
