Variety - the Children’s Charity of Ontario and Variety Village

Empowering Children with Disabilities

Variety - the Children’s Charity of Ontario plays a vital role in raising funds to provide inclusive and transformative programs for over 6,000 children with disabilities, their families, and the broader community. For many, Variety is more than just a charity; it’s a “second home” where individuals can embrace their true selves and thrive intellectually, socially, and physically.

As we celebrate over 70 years of impactful programming, we are thrilled to announce our expansion into even more communities across the province. At Variety, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness, and it’s our mission to help them realize that potential. Recognizing that not every child can access our flagship facility in Toronto, we are proud to extend our programs to Vaughan, Markham, Newmarket, London, Mississauga, Niagara, Oshawa and beyond.

Your support is crucial in helping us provide these vital opportunities. Together, we can ensure that no child with a disability is left on the sidelines. With your partnership, we affirm that Variety Kids Can.
