Douglas-Coldwell Foundation Awards Two $25,000 Cash Prizes

Ottawa, Ontario – The Douglas-Coldwell Foundation has announced the winners of the 2006 Douglas-Coldwell Award and has given two $25,000 prizes to two projects that best demonstrate Tommy Douglas’ vision for Canada. The winners of the 2006 Douglas-Coldwell Award are the Canadian Health Coalition in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee for its 1% Solution Campaign against homelessness.

Toronto Diaster Relief Committee

The Toronto Disaster Relief Committee (TDRC) is a group of social policy, health care and housing experts, academics, business people, community health workers, social workers, AIDS activists, anti-poverty activists, people with homelessness experience, and members of the faith community. We provide advocacy on housing and homelessness issues. We declare homelessness as a national disaster, and demand that Canada end homelessness by implementing a fully-funded National Housing Program through the One Percent Solution.

They are our mothers, our daughters, our aunts, our nieces, our wives—they are all our sisters—and they remain largely invisible compared to homeless men.
