We’ve transitioned: Our name has changed, but our heart remains the same.
Our charity, formerly known as The Chartwell Foundation, is now Chartwell Wish of a Lifetime. This new chapter reflects our continuous purpose to celebrate the lifelong passions and journeys of Canadian seniors by granting meaningful wishes that spark joy, inspire connection, and prove that it’s never too late to dream. Stay tuned for more updates, including the launch of our revamped website, as we bring this exciting rebrand to life!
