About Toques from the Heart
Toques From The Heart is a social enterprise with the mission to keep Canadians warm, one toque at a time. We have created an easy way for Canadians to support those in our country that are experiencing homelessness. Through our buy a toque give a toque program we promise to our customers that they will receive a warm, fashionable and comfortable toque, and for every toque they buy we donate one to one of our partnered Charities and Non-Profit organizations. We have a goal to donate 35,000 toques to Canadians experiencing homelessness as that is the number of Canadians that are on the streets on any given night. We have created a lineup of toques that cater to our target audiences tastes and what they need from a toque. We are a team of three dedicated Commerce students who are putting our degrees and entrepreneurial spirits towards a cause that is very important to us and has been the inspiration behind our brand.

This event is open to those in the Innovation & Society and the Leaders & Influencers LLCs.

Note: If there is inclement weather, the event will be held in Ravine Room, Hedden Hall. All registrants will be contacted prior to the event in this case.
