Hopewell Eating Disorders Centre was founded in 1999 by three women who had each watched their daughters suffer from anorexia. They wanted to create an organization that could offer support, information and hope to those dealing with anorexia and bulimia, as well as to their families and friends. The Centre does not offer medical care; instead, its programs and services are meant to complement treatment. In that capacity, its staff and volunteers work closely with medical professionals and therapists within the Ottawa health community.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind (CGDB) is a national, non-profit, registered, charitable organization that was founded in 1984. The mission statement is:
"To assist visually-impaired Canadians with their mobility by providing and training them in the use of professionally trained Guide Dogs."
Initially, the Centre was housed in rental properties and in 1987 the building of the current National Training Centre was completed just outside of Manotick, Ontario (16 miles south of Ottawa). The Training Centre is situated on 9 acres and includes a kennel that can house 30 dogs. The main house has accommodation for eight students and administration offices.
CGDB is a founding member of the International Guide Dog Federation which now has world-wide membership.
The Management and Foundation Board members of CGDB are volunteers from across Canada. CGDB is funded by donations received from individuals, corporations, service clubs, Foundations and fundraising events. |
