Several charities in Canada are getting some extra funding thanks to the Brandt Group of Companies.

The manufacturing and distribution company, which supports multiple sectors including agriculture, is donating $275,000 through the Thanks A Billion Holiday Fund.

The Canadian Cancer Society ($97,500), Canadian Mental Health Association ($78,000), Ronald McDonald House Charities ($55,500), Make a Wish Canada ($26,000), and Salvation Army of Canada ($18,000) will split the funds.

“We are so grateful to be included as one of the charities of choice,” said Phyillis O’Connor, the executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Saskatchewan Division. “Brandt’s donation will ensure quality programming to support those living with mental illness and those who wish to maintain their mental wellness.”

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
