“Not everyone has a talent for music or art but we each have a rich auditory imagination and with this, the gift for story. And, as the words in this book so beautifully illustrate, our stories matter. They remind us of the many ways that the beauty of this land and the diversity of its people brings us home to ourselves and helps us find our own place of the heart."
- Michael Jones, pianist, composer, recording artist, speaker, author Creating an Imaginative Life

The Tim Horton Children’s
Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization committed
to providing a fun-filled and memorable camp environment for children
from economically disadvantaged homes. This foundation was established
by Canadian Ron Joyce, co-founder of Tim Hortons in honour of
his friend, and National Hockey League hockey star Tim Horton,
to recognize his love for children and his desire to help those
less fortunate.
Each year, local children are selected from each of the communities
in which a Tim Hortons store operates. This gives thousands of
children the opportunity to attend one of the six camps, five
across Canada and one in the United States, each offering unique
opportunities. The foundation covers all expenses for the child,
including transportation, food and lodging. Highly trained staff,
excellent facilities and programs provide all the fun that is
consistent with a first-class children’s camp. The camp experience
is designed to give children confidence in their abilities, pride
in their accomplishments and the chance to gain a positive view
of this world and their future.
