This is one of many reasons why Image Honda is proud to be a part of the Honda Family. Honda Canada continually strives to be a company that Canadians are proud of, which is why the Honda Canada Foundation provides annual funding to registered non-profit charities across Canada “in support of science-and engineering-based education, environment and family initiatives.”

Each year, the Honda Canada Foundation gives back to the community and participates in local programs across the country to build a better community.  “The Honda Canada Foundation is committed to giving back to the communities where its associates and customer live, work and play and is involved with such programs as Earth Rangers Bring Back the Wild, Junior Red Riders, Let’s Talk Science, CP24 CHUM  Christmas Wish, Make-A-Wish Canada and the Ontario Science Centre.”
