We are pleased to share that Scotia Plaza and BGO are participating in Holland Bloorview Rehab Hospital’s Capes for Kids campaign!
From March 6-10, BGO employees throughout the GTA will be wearing capes to drive awareness about the campaign and help raise funds for this great cause. We want to invite you to join us in this great initiative by creating a team, making a donation or simply by becoming superheroes and wearing homemade capes around the office for the week.
This campaign underscores BGO’s efforts to create a more inclusive world for people with disabilities and participation in Holland Bloorview’s Dear Everybody campaign. We’re proud to share that BGO’s own Rebekah Garriock, a former client of Holland Bloorview, is one of the featured superheroes this year!
