Suppressing charitable voices a disservice to all | Column | Opinion | Welland Tribune: Canadians understand the value of charitable organizations.

Close to 85% of us over 15 years of age (22.2 million people) donate to charities every year. Often, it’s to help people in other parts of the world.

According to Charity Village, Canadians gave $20 million to the Canadian Red Cross, CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, UNICEF Canada and World Vision within four days of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
