Selection Criteria
Selection Criteria
There are many children in Mississauga who would not be able to attend the Waterfront Festival without being sponsored.  In fact, the need far outstrips our resources.

Our challenge is to make sure that each and every sponsorship package goes to a child in need. To ensure this happens and to avoid abuse, the children we sponsor are referred primarily through local agencies, schools and religious groups.  

These include:
  • Our Place Peel
  • Foster Parents
  • Children's Aid Society
  • Boy's and Girl's Club
  • Interim Place
  • Peel Community Living
  • Armaugh House
  • Dufferin Peel Roman Catholic School Board
  • Peel District School Board
  • Various local churches, mosques and synagogues
If you know children who need sponsorship, then please ask their caregiver to contact one of the groups above.
Children In Need
We want to help as many children as we can. By working with key organizations in the city, we can reach the kids who need us the most.

At the same time, these agencies make sure your sponsorship goes only to children in need.
