Backpacks 101

This year's Backpacks 101 Project has been a great success. With donations from community members and support from Scotiabank, Polk Canada and Fill Your Own, they were able to fill more than 140 backpacks for children in four Etobicoke shelters. The Backpacks 101 Project began in 2007 and has been filling backpacks with back-to-school supplies such as pens, markers, binders, calculators and more every summer since.
