Heart month.

Heart Month was inspired by a fundraising initiative called "Heart Sunday." The concept was adopted in British Columbia in the mid-1950s; in Ontario in 1958, and has since expanded across the country.

Volunteers With Heart

Today Heart Month is a much broader campaign that mobilizes Canadians to rally together in raising awareness and funds that have an enormous impact on the lives of not just heart and stroke patients, but all Canadians.

Through the generosity and compassion of volunteers, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has been able to apply life-saving knowledge, education and advocacy that generate real results.
