The Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness is a national, charitable organization that has served Canadians since 1993. The Centre’s mandate is to significantly reduce the incidence and impact of abuse through education and public awareness. CCAA operates solely on private donations with no sustaining funds from any government body.
CCAA offers a full and comprehensive array of program services to address the needs of both child and adult victims of abuse. Their programs give hope to abuse victims whose tragic circumstances and terror-filled lives have left them feeling helpless with nowhere to turn.
Their programs are available at a) Agencies and shelters across Canada that serve and/or house victims; b) Individuals recommended or referred by qualified frontline professionals that work with people who have been severely abused or neglected.
School Bag Drive
Under the leadership of the General Manager of The Hilton Garden Inn Toronto/Markham, and five Hilton Garden Inns, 200 schoolbags were filled and donated to the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (CCAA – Abuse Hurts) for children in need. Praises all around to the staff and managers of these hotels for helping to meet such an important need in a child’s life.

Toy Drive
Toys for needy children were collected at The Hilton Garden Inn Toronto/Markham as well as three other hotels and delivered to the CCAA. 2017 & 2018 were the first two years of the toy drive. With the support of our partners we hope to continue this citizenship program in the future.
