T
he stories of children whose lives
have been transformed by a Big
Brother or Big Sister are endless.
Peter Coleridge, President & CEO of Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Canada (BBBSC),
recalls one in particular. A family of four —
husband, wife and two young daughters
— had successfully immigrated to Canada
but after just a short time, the husband
passed away as a result of a heart attack.
The mother, left alone to raise her children,
reached out to Big Brothers Big Sisters for
help.
