Canadians Helped

Enabling the Realization of Dreams

We support people and organizations that focus on our four pillars: Family, Environment, Engineering and Education. This allows us to make a positive contribution to Canadians everywhere.

We help charities that support children and their families in times of need, and we help fund programs that create learning opportunities for families as a whole.

Make-A-Wish^® is the world’s largest wish-granting organization, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 350,000 children since 1980.

We partner with charities that bring environmental education to classrooms and after-school programs across Canada. By teaching communities about conservation and initiatives like the ‘One Honda. One Tree.’ campaign, we’re helping create Blue Skies for our Children.

Forest Recovery Canada is a national tree planting and restoration program that connects our forests across Canada. Honda Canada’s “One Honda. One Tree.” campaign helps improve the health of forests and enhances Canadians’ well-being.

We support programs that encourage post-secondary education in engineering and technology, with hands-on activities for children and youth interested in the fields of science.

Since 1998, Honda Canada has sponsored numerous Canadian University Formula SAE teams to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style racing cars.

We encourage lifelong education through the funding of Canada-wide school and community programs.
