Transformational investment from BGIS unlocks hope for students at schools and on campuses across Canada 

Since 2019, BGIS and its employees have been steadfast supporters of Kids Help Phone through the company’s annual golf tournament, many generous individual and corporate donations and the leadership of President & CEO Gord Hicks, who has been a valued member of the Kids Help Phone Board of Directors since 2019.    

In 2024, BGIS — a top Canadian facilities management company — stepped forward as a leading national champion of youth mental health with a transformational new gift of $1 million to our Cam’s Kids program.  

Named in memory of Cam Hicks, Gord Hicks’ late son, BGIS’ investment will significantly accelerate the reach and impact of this powerful initiative. With a focus on uplifting the mental health and well-being of students across Canada, Cam’s Kids empowers young people on campuses to support their peers as champions of mental health and to raise awareness of KHP’s services.  

BGIS’ gift will enable Cam’s Kids to double the number of youth mental health ambassadors on campuses by 2029. The impact will be huge — through heartfelt connections and meaningful interactions, both in person and online, Cam’s Kids ambassadors create a lifeline of support for their peers. These passionate young leaders grow not only their own skills but also the strength of their communities, inspiring others to take charge of their mental health. By offering guidance, fostering understanding, and encouraging those around them to seek help when needed, these ambassadors ignite hope and make a profound, lasting difference in the lives they touch. 

We extend our deepest gratitude to our friends and partners at BGIS for their unwavering support.
