Remembering the homeless in January

A lot of people like to donate leading up to Christmas. It's wonderful and I'm always blown away by the generosity of people in Ottawa.

Then the cold, harsh winter sets in. We get the January and February blahs. We're bundled up, we're busy with our lives and it's understandable that we have other things on our mind.

But for the homeless men and women in Ottawa, the need is still there.

The Ottawa Real Estate Investors Organization decided to do something about it. They have purposely scheduled their food and clothing drive for January and February. They want to remind people that Ottawa's homeless population needs help 365 days a year.

Thank you so much to Victor Menasce, Managing Partner of US Real Estate Partners, for his work in organizing this drive.

On Wednesday morning, you might have seen Victor and me on CTV Morning Live. Thank you to CTV Morning Live for the coverage.
