Homelessness in Canada — whether in plain sight or hidden, has been on the rise.


The Homeless Hub estimates there are 153,000 – 300,000 homeless Canadians. 


Recently, we aired a show featuring the work of the Red Shelter Project in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax is just one example of many communities that have seen the homeless population explode in recent years.


Toronto currently has the largest homeless population in Canada, and 44% of Canada’s shelters are in Ontario.


In harsh winter climates, homelessness becomes dangerous, with lives lost to the cold temperatures or tent fires.


To tackle the issue, the Canadian Government is expected to invest two-point-two billion to help with the challenge. In addition to this, municipal and provincial governments nationwide have been pulling together to try and develop meaningful solutions.


The non-profit sector is one group bringing the most meaningful relief to the challenges surrounding homelessness. Overwhelmingly, those serving through churches or other non-profits are the ones in these trenches.


Joining me today are two individuals in that category. Joseph Sikora works with Ground Zero Ministries in Abbotsford, BC, and Craig Forbes is a pastor at Lakemount Worship Centre in Grimsby, Ontario. Both have been working tirelessly to serve and save lives on the front lines of homelessness.


Thanks for joining us.

Food Insecurity In Canada with Jim and Jacintha Collins

May 5, 2024 • Jim and Jacintha Collins

With the rising cost of living across Canada, hunger has become an increasing problem. According to Food Banks Canada, in March 2023, there were almost two million visits to food banks across Canada — greater than the population of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. This was a a thirty-two percent increase and the highest year-over-year increase in usage ever reported. These numbers represent almost 650 thousand children and many seniors on fixed incomes. It’s now spring 2024, and some food banks are already reporting that they are hitting food bank visit levels that they normally only see at Christmas time. The need is massive. Joining us today to discuss the problem and a powerful solution are Jim and Jacintha Collins of Harvest Hands. Harvest Hands is a charity focusing on reclaiming food that otherwise would be thrown away and rerouting it to homes in need. Thanks for joining us.

Hope in Our Nation with Tyrelle Smith, Wade and Jenny Sanderson

Toyin Crandell, Tyrelle Smith, Wade Sanderson

Many of us feel the challenge of this present moment in our country. With high inflation and some government policies and practices that many may not agree with, people need hope and encouragement. Well, this show brings us just that!  Joining our guest host (Toyin Crandell) this week is Tyrelle Smith and Wade & Jenny Sanderson. They join us to share some very inspiring testimonies of great things happening in Canada!  Tyrelle Smith is with Gospel Fire for All Nations, an organization that has been hosting cross-denominational gatherings of people from across the prairies who are hungry for God's presence. They mentor Canadians to share Christ with their friends and family members and are seeing tremendous impact. Wade and Jenny Sanderson lead Inspire Fire Ministries. Wade recovered from drug and alcohol abuse.  They both have encountered the love and presence of God in a way that radically transformed their lives. They now take that love, joy and the presence of God into communities across Canada with a special focus on First Nations communities. Thanks for joining us!

Entrepreneurial Philanthropy In Canada with Jimi and Ade Alalade

Jimi Alalde, Ade Alalde

DONATE: https://v-kolmedia.kindful.com/http://kindful.com According to http://madeincanada.ca, there are 3.5 million entrepreneurs in Canada. In recent years small and medium-sized businesses employed over 14 million Canadians. Almost 98% of Canadian businesses are considered small companies.   Their contribution is over half of Canada's GDP. One in four new companies are started by recent immigrants to Canada. Today's show features two guests, Jimi and Ade Alalade from Naija Atlantic Bakery. They have an inspiring story of immigrating to Canada, taking a risk and launching a small business out of their garage, and growing it into a service footprint covering three provinces. They are now giving back to their community in very meaningful ways. I am excited about this conversation. Please join me.   http://faytene.tv is a listener-supported program.
