August 2023
Watching a family member or loved one experience deterioration from a long-term illness can be heartbreaking. That's why for August, we chose to sponsor the Parkinson Superwalk! Funds that are raised in BC are used to help Parkinson Society British Columbia continue to grow their efforts in programs, services, advocacy, and research.
July 2023
Parenting can be hard. Believe us, we get it! With that in mind, we chose to donate to Maple Ridge Community Services to help fund their holding The Circle of Security Parenting Program. This program is an attachment-based parenting education program designed to help parents understand and build on their relationships with their children. Strong parent/child relationships can make a brighter future for everyone.
June 2023
It's been a brutal year for fires across Canada. Some are caused by humans, some are caused by drier weather and lightning strikes. Sometimes people lose their homes. Due to the fire in Maple Ridge that cost over 100 families their homes, Lagoon Baby has chosen the Canadian Red Cross to help those families in their time of loss.
May 2023
Addiction is hard. Not just for the addict, but for the family and the community. That's why this month, Lagoon Baby has chosen Alouette Addictions Services. Alouette offers a variety of services, including group therapies, opioid replacement therapies, and support for at-risk individuals.
April 2023
We're hearing on the news about the impacts of climate change. In honour of Earth Day, Lagoon Baby has chosen an organization that works with scientists to make a difference. Wildlife Conservation Society Canada uses science to quantify the impacts of climate change and make a case for action for the protection of plants and wild life. Additionally, they work with First Nations peoples of the regions to support community-based monitoring to document and address climate and development impacts on their local wetlands.
March 2023
Illegal wildlife trade is a multi-billion dollar industry. While most wildlife conservation organizations focus on science and anti-poaching, WildAid takes a different approach: WildAid works from a financial angle: reduce global consumption of wildlife products (reducing the demand), while working to increase local support for conservation efforts (decreasing the supply available to consumers). By adding this approach to other conservation groups' successes, the multi-pronged battle to save our wildlife is only improved. With that in mind, Lagoon Baby has chosen to support WildAid for March 2023.
February 2023
Pets are awesome. Pets are fun. Pets can be educational. But exotic pets can put owners in over their heads. What happens then? Urban Safari Rescue Society can help. This organization rescues pets (even the exotic ones!) from unsafe and unsuitable situations, and then takes care of them. They also have programs to teach about exotic animals, how to properly care for them, and wildlife conservation efforts to keep those still in the wild thriving. Unfortunately, Urban Safari Rescue Society has had a fire, so Lagoon Baby has chosen to donate to them this month to help get them back on their feet, rescuing, and educating.
January 2023
Inflation, rising housing prices, and general economic uncertainty is making it harder for people who need a hand up to find it. Because of this, Lagoon Baby has chosen Mission Possible for our charity of the month. Mission Possible empowers people typically excluded from the traditional workforce—like those facing homelessness and housing insecurity, poverty, and other barriers to employment—by paving a pathway to long-term jobs and lasting change.
December 2022
The health systems have been stretched to their breaking point since the pandemic. With that in mind, we've chosen to St. Paul's Foundation in Vancouver, BC.

March 2022
Cloth diapers are a cause near and dear to us. We love cloth diapers because of the reduced environmental impact vs. disposables. We also love that having cloth diapers are always there... because we recognize that not everyone has the ability or means to simply buy diapers. This month, Lagoon Baby contributed to the #lovecanchange campaign to send 200 cloth diapers to Rwanda through the Rise Together Mission.
February 2022

BC has been devastated by extreme weather this year. An entire town burned to the ground during our summer wild fires, along with smaller fires that also damaged homes and businesses.
