Village ORTHOdontics in the Community...
Since opening our doors to the community in 1975, Village ORTHOdontics has experienced the kind of successes for which we can truly be most grateful! We have been given the privilege of coming to work each day and helping our patients achieve that confident smile; we have a team of wonderfully knowledgeable, enthusiastic and supportive individuals; we have built supportive relationships with our patients’ dentists and work closely with them to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes; and we are met with some truly remarkable and inspiring patients each and every day.
Further to that, as a mutually supportive group working together to create a positive and memorable experience for all, we truly feel that our patients and colleagues have become a part of our Village ORTHOdontics family – and for that too, we give thanks!
When one has been so fortunate to derive so many blessings in life, we believe that it is important to give something back. Therefore, one of the cornerstones of our practice philosophy has always been community involvement, and this year is no different!
During 2011, Village ORTHO supported our community in the following ways:
Donated water bottles and gift baskets to our patients’ sports teams
Ran a mouth guard clinic where all proceeds went to AboutFace International
Held a food drive that raised more than 600 food items for the Mississauga Food Bank
Our staff held a raffle to raise money for the Mississauga Food Bank
Through the Rotary Club, helped sponsor the lighting of the trees at Mississauga’s Festival of Lights
Through the BIA, helped sponsor the decorating of a lamppost in Yorkville for their winter basket program
Provided magnets to each student at Erin Centre Middle School
Sponsored the community banner for St. David's Public School in Niagara Falls
Sponsored Healing Hands Busy Books (activity books provided to children in hospitals)
In 2010, Village ORTHO also made monetary donations to:
