The 21st Century Citizen. How do we Get Involved Today?
For the past ten years my partner at qmedia solutions and I have been doing a lot of pro bono work for a number of not-for-profits and charities. We've really enjoyed it but we wanted to do more. First we wanted to tell stories about some of the amazing people who had inspired us. And so we started with TV storytelling and on October 26th Get Involved had it's World Premiere on TVO-- Ontario's premiere public broadcaster. So far we have produced 25 profiles of amazing innovators, social entrepreneurs and activists. Take a look at our stories. Tell us what you think. Tell us about people or organizations that inspire you. During our research we sensed a growing movement growing all around us-- people realizing their skills and their expertise can be used not only to bring them financial rewards but deeper connection and meaning in their lives. And so our next step was to concieve of a website that would transform the inspiration of the television profiles and help propell people into action and Getinvolved.ca was born.

Donate a car - make a wish come true!
When it gets warm enough to walk (and the air quality is smoggy enough to start thinking about the environment without trying to think about the environment!) it starts feeling like a better and better idea to get rid of your gas guzzler and find a better way to get around. How about a better way to get rid of that gas-guzzler?
The Toronto & Central Ontario Make-A-Wish organization wants you to know that if you or someone you know has a car that is no longer safe to drive, or the vehicle repairs are too expensive, you could choose to donate your old clunker hassle-free to Make-A-Wish® Toronto & Central Ontario through 1877 End of Life Vehicles.
By donating your old car through 1877 End of Life Vehicles you will be helping a child with a life-threatening illness have their wish come true. For more than 10 years now, Make-A-Wish has been granting personalized and unique wish experiences to kids living with life-threatening medical conditions. 100% of the car’s value will be donated to Make-A-Wish ®.
Donating is easy, there is an online form that you fill out and 1877 End of Life Vehicles or Charity Cars will even come and pick up the vehicle for free. 1877 End of Life Vehicles and Charity Cars practice “Green Vehicle Recycling” meaning any salvageable parts will be kept and the rest of your car will go to a steel mill to be recycled.
For more information on donating your car for Make-A-Wish® please visit End of Life Vehicles’ website.
