The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is the authority on wish granting in our country. With 25 years of wish granting, and over 15,000 wishes behind us, we have fulfilled more wishes for children in Canada than any other wish granting agency.
What began in 1983, on the kitchen table of an inspired and committed volunteer, named Laura Cole, has blossomed into a national organization with chapters in every province. From humble beginnings granting fewer than 20 wishes a year The Foundation has established the capacity to fulfill upwards of 800 wishes annually.
The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is extremely proud of the fact that we have never denied an eligible child a wish and that we have been able to fulfill some of the most complex wishes imaginable.
Granting wishes to children with high-risk life-threatening illnesses is our primary line of business and the most powerful way in which The Children’s Wish Foundation fulfils its mandate. Staff and volunteers work tirelessly to maintain the highest quality of service to our wish families with attention to the most minute details so as to ensure the total satisfaction of each and every wish child.
We owe our success to the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who have contributed their time, talents and money over the years to help us make wishes come true.
