Tuesday, November 29^th is GivingTuesday.

#GivingTuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good: make someone smile, help a neighbour or stranger, show up for an issue you care about, or give some of what you have to those in need.

We Did It! We Achieved Qmentum Status!

We are thrilled to announce that after almost 2 years of hard work and dedication, Radius achieved Qmentum status with Accreditation Canada! Over a 3-day period in late June, Radius staff met with Surveyors from Accreditation Canada. During that time, we were evaluated on a set of over 400 rigorous global standards. We achieved 97.5% compliance with these standards, which means Radius passed with Exemplary Standing!

Have You Met Lexus?

She’s the star of the Radius Unconditional Furry Friend (RUFF) Program. Lexus is a 4-year-old black Labrador. Lexus began her journey at Radius in July of 2021 with an intensive training program provided by the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, culminating with her graduation on July 16^th. Her training continued throughout the summer and last fall Lexus began her in-office work at Radius.

That’s a Wrap – The 2022 Tournament of Hope

The 2022 Tournament of Hope was held on Monday, August 22^nd at Piper’s Heath Golf Club and was a great success! Although there was a threat of rain, the weather held, and everyone had a great day of golf, camaraderie and competition. Participants enjoyed a hole-in-one competition hosted by One Shot Shootout, closest to the pin and longest drive, and the top 2 teams in each category received amazing prizes.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Throughout the spring and summer, the Radius Training Institute (RTI) has been working to build more educational and supportive online courses for families, caregivers and support people as well as a central hub for professionals accessing our trainings or Communities of Practice. The first to be developed, “The Courage to Tell” will be a self-directed, online course for parents/caregivers whose children have experienced sexual abuse. The filming took place at our Etobicoke office in May and June.
