Beginning Sunday June 12, 2011, So Fine Canada will change its format to include a segment highlighting the “Seven Small Wonders of Canada” campaign created by smallchangefund. Staff and video presenter Sarah Hawkins will provide project highlights of the Canada-wide campaign which showcases 7 of the top projects being honoured for their work in community with youth, First Nations, the environment, social justice and cultural diversity.
‘There’s an enormous amount of talent in these communities.” said Dani LaGiglia, Program Director. “The projects highlight issues that need to be solved. They need a small amount of money to do so and smallchangefund.org is showcasing these great projects to make that happen.”
Smallchangefund.org was created only 18 months ago by founders Ruth Richardson and Mary McGrath. This award-winning, online promotion and giving tool has helped many small, unknown projects get off the ground in Canada
