COVID-19 Message

To everyone in our CCAA school community we send health and safety to all. This time is impacting our personal and professional lives in ways we never thought possible. However, by taking care of ourselves, supporting each other and following our local public health units advice, we know we will get through this! 

 

FRIENDS continues to operate with our board members meeting monthly through virtually meetings to plan how we can help the school and our talented students during this time.

From all of us on the board, please take care, stay positive and find those silver linings during this time. We all look forward to a new beginning post COVID-19 and together, we will get through this, because that's what FRIENDS do.

 

Annual Family Donation Program

 

Every fall we start a new school year with lots of excitement and we give thanks to have our children enrolled in an amazing school. At CCAA we have so many needs that are not funded by the TCDSB and therefore there is a need for fundraising to provide enriched learning experiences for our children.

Friends of Cardinal Carter is the fundraising arm of the school. In 2016, a direct donation campaign was started to eliminate the need for raffles and other fundraising events. Thanks to your generous donations we raised
over $30,000. In 2018-2019, we continued this important campaign and raised again an amazing $30,000 from the families of CCAA and local businesses. 

 

We need your support in 2020-2021! Any amount donated is greatly appreciated. Friends of CCAA will send you a tax receipt for any donation of $20 of more.

How to donate
