Overview Civic Footprint refers to each citizen’s unique ability to contribute time and money to help develop stronger communities across Canada. Just as we have all become aware of our need to minimize our environmental footprint, both individually and collectively, the goal of the Civic Footprint program and website is to maximize community impact by encouraging Canadians to take a strategic, long term approach to giving, volunteering and participating. After two years of development, Framework is finally able to formally launch the program to the public. The evening also helps us kick-off awareness for the 6th Toronto Timeraiser.
