Incorporated in 2006, the Bhayana Family Foundation partners with United Ways across Canada to close the recognition gap for the human service sector. Their contributions to our society’s well-being  – and to our economy – are well-documented and immense. Yet all too often, the sector and its dedicated professionals are overlooked and undervalued. Our focus is to  strengthen the roots of the community-the Invisible Champions of Canadian Communities.

The United Way/Bhayana Family Foundation Awards are multi-dimensional, and honour staff in the areas of Leadership, Innovation, Dedication, Partnership, Community Building and Team Achievement.

The following videos feature some outstanding organizations and their employees, tackling unignorable issues in North York, Halifax/Dartmouth and Vancouver.
