Downtown Eastside Centre for the Arts
Creating Opportunities for the Artist in Everyone
The Downtown Eastside Centre for
the Arts provides opportunities for creative exploration,
engagement, and expression in the heart of the city. Through
participation in theatre, music, dance, painting, carving, and other
forms of creative expression people create connections with
themselves and with their community.
Residents of
the community can gather together for arts activities inspired by
artists and elders who are rich with encouragement, ideas, and
curiosity. The Centre gives children, youth, adults, and older folks
access to a welcoming environment with art supplies and tools to
help them find the artist in themselves. |

The
Canadian Red Cross
The Canadian Red Cross mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable
people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the
world.
The
Canadian Red Cross is mobilizing to support relief efforts in
Haiti—providing medical support, clean water, food and shelter to
people who have lost everything. We also need to look beyond
immediate relief, to the Haitian people’s longer-term needs as they
recover from this enormous tragedy and begin to rebuild their
communities. Aside from the human toll—which continues to climb—this
earthquake has robbed hundreds of thousands of people of their homes
and livelihoods, in a country that is already the poorest in the
western hemisphere. |

Habitat for
Humanity
We are
a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the
conviction that every man, woman and child should have a
decent, safe and affordable place to live. We build with
people in need regardless of race or religion. We welcome
volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds.
Habitat is addressing shelter solutions for low-income
families affected by the Haiti earthquake. Habitat’s ability
to respond effectively to this disaster will require support
from donors, corporate partners and other community
organizations. |
