EVERYONE KNOWS RICK MERCER AS THE GUY ON TELEVISION POKING FUN AT CELEBRITIES

AND POLITICIANS. BEHIND THE SCENES THOUGH, IS AN INDIVIDUAL QUIETLY MAKING A MARK

THROUGH SEVERAL PHILANTHROPIC ENDEAVOURS

R ICK MERCER DOESN’T THI N K his folks would approve of spotlighting his charitable efforts:

“I was raised to get on with good works quietly. Millions of Canadians give of their time and wallets every day.”

This can be easier said than done when you have cameras pointed at you for a living.

The boy from St. John’s showed his extraordinary philanthropic range this past July when, in the span of some

48 hours, he jumped from a Canada Day performance for our troops in Afghanistan to a front-and-centre float in

Toronto’s Pride Day parade.

FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND THREE DAYS GRACE, IT’S

ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST PLAYING MUSIC

TH E CONCEPT OF R A ISI NG MON EY for a cause was introduced early to many of us in Canada.

The UNICEF boxes we carried around our costumed necks on Halloween, read-a-thons to raise money for a new school

playground, and Terry Fox’s remarkable cross-country journey all come to mind.

I can still remember as a kid in grade school walking through small-town Ontario with my best friend, Brad Walst,

seeking pledges for Terry’s legacy.

Brad’s earliest memories of fundraising are much the same. As a Lion’s Club member, his father was always helping out,

but it took many years before we realized that his father’s volunteering went far beyond dressing up for Norwood’s Thanks-

giving parade floats. There were people in need in our community and Brad’s father knew it. As children, we were oblivious.
