Mothers honoured on Habitat build siteMay,
2005 — More than two dozen mothers joined Canadian television celebrity
Mag Ruffman and other volunteers to celebrate Mother's Day by building a Habitat
for Humanity home in Toronto, Ontario.
"What better way to honour
your mother than by helping families in need," said Habitat for Humanity
Toronto CEO Neil Hetherington. "Habitat's partner families' determination
and commitment to making a better life for their children is a constant source
of inspiration."
Since 1988, Habitat for Humanity Toronto has welcomed
volunteers to build simple, decent houses in partnership with low-income families.
This first-ever Mother's Day build, held at Habitat Toronto's downtown Rotary
Drive build site, was supported by a $50,000 donation from RBC Foundation.
"All mothers want their children to be safe and secure with a roof over their
heads. I feel privileged to be spending this Mother's Day as a tribute to my own
mother and a legacy for my son, by helping provide a much-needed home for someone
else's family," said RBC volunteer Annette Dukszta.
