Description

The Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC) is one of Canada's largest workplace giving campaigns, bringing together federal public servants and retirees to take charitable action and give back to communities across the country. The GCWCC helps strengthen these communities, support vulnerable populations, and address the most urgent health and social needs across Canada.

Guided by the theme "Together, We Make a Difference," this launch event will highlight the power of collective giving and the meaningful impact of contributions made through the GCWCC in communities across Canada.

Participants will learn about the impacts of giving back, how they can donate to support causes they care about and how, together, we can build stronger, more resilient communities and make a lasting difference across Canada.

Get involved by joining the conversation on social media using #GCWCCCommunities or by visiting the GCWCC website.
