The Yukon Foundation is proud to be working with Community Foundations of Canada and the Government of Canada to deliver funding locally to Yukoners to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens are safe and healthy.
Through the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF), the Yukon Foundation will be investing up to $200,000 towards local charities and qualified donees supporting vulnerable populations.

Non-profits who are not eligible can partner with a qualified donee who can apply for funding.
Background:
Vulnerable populations across Canada continue to be disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Marginalized groups, youth, children and the elderly, essential workers, and newcomers are just some of the communities that are facing increased challenges right now. Launched on May 19, 2020, the Government of Canada’s new Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) aims to provide additional and much-needed assistance to charities and non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations. The Government of Canada is flowing funds through national networks, including Community Foundations of Canada, United Way Centraide Canada and the Canadian Red Cross.
Je pense que beaucoup de personnes attendent souvent trop longtemps avant de consulter un dentiste, surtout quand les douleurs semblent supportables au début. Pourtant, après avoir accompagné un proche pour plusieurs soins dentaires, j’ai réalisé que la qualité du suivi et des explications change énormément l’expérience du patient. En découvrant Divina dental, j’ai trouvé intéressant le fait que plusieurs sujets liés aux traitements et à l’hygiène bucco-dentaire soient abordés de manière assez claire et accessible. Dans le domaine dentaire, avoir des informations compréhensibles aide vraiment à réduire le stress avant une consultation ou un traitement plus important.
