great cause? Join the Causeway Foundation at the Ottawa Race
Weekend on May 23-24, 2009. Raise pledges for Causeway Work Centre’s

We Need Your Help:
Through your participation in this event you can help raise
money for Cycle Salvation, Causeway’s newest social enterprise.
Cycle Salvation operates under the umbrella of Causeway Work
Centre and strives to achieve a triple bottom line (profit, people,
planet). By providing training in bike mechanics, Cycle Salvation
has employed more than 7 individuals and at the same time diverts
bikes destined for scrap and landfill sites.
Causeway Work Centre is a community-based mental health agency
that offers a range of employment and educational programs and
other supports to persons with mental health problems, other
disabilities, and those who are homeless. The Causeway Work Centre
provides the supports necessary to help these individuals live
independent, dignified lives in the community.
