Phil McColeman tells Ottawa about The Kindness Project

MP Phil McColeman during the statement time in the House of Commons tells the nation about Freedom House, Captain Kindness, The Kindness Project and Random Act of Kindness Day http://freedomhouse.ca/


Mr. Speaker, eight years ago, Freedom House, a church and ministry centre in Brantford, began a mission called "The Kindness Project" to see if a city could be transformed by good into good by using simple but strategic acts of kindness.

In these eight years, among other things, roughly 20,000 hamburgers have been given away; a free winter carnival, Frosty Fest, is hosted; a school curriculum is in the works; affordable housing has been provided for those in need; and a local superhero, Captain Kindness, has emerged and taken control of the city. This Friday, November 4, will be the second annual Random Act of Kindness Day in Brantford.

The Kindness Project seeks to uncover the untapped level of synergy in the community as a collective commitment to serving each other. It is people helping people with what we all have in our hands to give.

We hope, together, to make Brantford known as the kindest city in Canada.
