The Anishnawbe Health Foundation (AHF)
The Anishnawbe Health Foundation (AHF) is a registered Indigenous charity that works with generous donors to financially support improved health and wellness for the Indigenous community in Toronto.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors, AHF is able to help create an environment where the urban Indigenous community can heal spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally by enhancing capital and program funding for Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT), while also fostering the reclamation, preservation, research and sharing of traditional healing methods with all people.
Anishnawbe Health Toronto is uniquely equipped to address the health concerns of Indigenous people; as the only fully accredited community health centre in Toronto driven by Indigenous leadership. AHT’s growth is essential to advancing equitable, culturally grounded health care for Indigenous people in Toronto.
And we could not do this work without you, our donors. It is because of your generous philanthropy and dedication to creating a better future for Indigenous People that Anishnawbe Health Toronto can foster an environment where Indigenous people are able to heal.

Soulpepper Theatre
This year, Santa’s Village has a magical new look inspired by Soulpepper Theatre’s production of Bad Hats’ Narnia — an adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved story of the mystical land beyond the wardrobe.
Designed by production designer Shannon Lea Doyle, the immersive installation transforms Soulpepper’s lobby into an enchanting winter forest filled with snow-flocked evergreens, twinkling lights, and shimmering ice crystals. Visitors will wander through the bewitched wardrobe doors into a sparkling landscape brought to life with atmospheric projections, a large-scale hanging sculpture, and whimsical Narnia-inspired animations.
Meet Santa, share your wish list, and capture a festive photo to remember the moment. Don’t forget to check Santa’s schedule before your visit — and keep an eye out for Santa’s Elves spreading cheer throughout The Distillery Winter Village.
Soulpepper’s Bad Hats Narnia runs November 18 – December 28. Purchase tickets.
Soulpepper Theatre also invites visitors to help Torontonians in need by dropping off gently used winter coats between November 13 and January 4. All donations will support New Circles, a Toronto charity providing clothing, community, and care.
