All for Community - Speaker's Event
Each year, The Community Foundation of Mississauga hosts a Speakers event intended to motivate, and inspire. This event raises awareness around a broad range of topics, which help to engage our communities in conversations that matter, and has been a learning opportunity for self-improvement, either at work or in our personal lives. Now more then ever before, we need a lift.
While our city and others are following protocols and staying home to stay safe, we know there is still great uncertainty, people still feel fragile and worried. These are unprecedented times and we are all learning as we go along, but this can not stop us from doing what we must to ensure our own good health, purpose and empowerment, to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
On March 23rd, as a community, we will be celebrating spring. A great time to instill hope and optimism after long periods of physical isolation, the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs, financial insecurity and the daily stress felt since COVID broke in March 2020. With the virus still raging out of control, we are moving our Speakers Event virtually, making it even more assessable to those who need this fresh and healthy perspective.
We invite you to join us, to learn and grow, and to celebrate with us The Community Foundation of Mississauga's 20th Anniversary!
Meet the Speakers
Dr. Natasha Sharma
Dr. Sharma is an expert on emotional intelligence and fitness with her presentation on creating Healthy, Happy & Successful people.

Dr. Sharma believes everyone should have access to good mental health and is most known for her TEDx Talk called "Why What We Feel Matters More Than What We Think."
“Kindness – both to oneself and to others – is very much a teachable skill. And our actions are arguably much more powerful in influencing our emotions than our thoughts are”.

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) says good mental health is “having a sense of purpose, strong relationships, feeling connected to our communities, knowing who we are, coping with stress and enjoying life.” This includes resilience, which is having good ways to deal with your feelings and enjoy life even when things are challenging. I think we can all agree we are living in challenging times :(

The Community Foundation of Mississauga is proud to share our Impact!
Overall to date, in support of local charities in Mississauga
Mississauga Emergency Relief Fund 2020. This fund was established to support those charitable organizations whose programs were at risk of closing. Thanks to the many caring citizens in our community who have supported The Mississauga Emergency Relief Fund, successful grant recipients are providing services to address the social well-being of those most affected by the pandemic, including seniors, Mississaugans struggling with access to food and other vulnerable groups.
On May 19th 2020, the Emergency Community Support Fund of $350M from the Government of Canada was launched. In collaboration with the Canadian Red Cross and United Way Centraide Canada, and CFC, the Community Foundation of Mississauga was proud to distribute funding for projects designed to help our community and local agencies experiencing heightened vulnerability during the COVID-19 crisis.
Annual Grants delivered! The Community Foundation of Mississauga plays a pivotal role in supporting our community through annual grants, and is a trusted grant-making foundation that has been supporting Mississauga- focused charities for the past 14 years. 2020 has been a very busy and difficult year – it has been a privilege to help our community as it faces one of the most challenging crises that our world has seen.
