Why do we need a Day of Recognition?

Frontline Champions are the employees who help people through some of the direst of circumstances to create experiences that spark joy and happiness. There are 2.4 million people who work in Canada’s nonprofit sector. Most, if not all of us, know someone who has benefited from their work.

It’s time for a National Day of Recognition!

Driven by ideals, passion and values, you’ll find these champions on the frontline of every community in Canada

Millions of Canadians seek them out when they cannot manage alone anymore. These champions address real issues in people’s lives, innovating, supporting and standing with them through profound change. They empower and advocate for their clients, providing value beyond money.

We are speaking, of course, about the professionals who work in Canada’s not-for-profit and charitable sectors. The Bhayana Family Foundation is committed to recognizing their incredible impact.
