The dream
of two visionnaries

This dream is becoming reality thanks to you!”

Our Impact in the community
In 1954, a group of youngsters, including Earl De La Perralle and Sid Stevens (9 and 13 years old) started a handwritten newspaper called “The Clark Street Sun”. The profits from the sales helped finance sports activities.
Since then, Sun Youth has been a second home for thousands of people in dire straits, whether it is a family who has just lost their home in a fire, a new refugee in need of warm clothes, a single mother or a senior citizen with reduced mobility needing a food delivery.
