The Johnny Bower Foundation was established by the family of the legendary hockey goaltender after his passing in December 2017 to continue his legacy of supporting charities across Canada.

In 2010, JB was honoured by the Government of Ontario with an Ontario Senior Achievement Award for his long-term commitment to charitable work in the Province.

In 2007, he was made an honorary Anishinabek Grand Chief for his support of the Anishinabek Nation 7th Generation Charity and was the only honorary Chief in the history of Peel Regional Police.

His generosity supported causes such as children’s advocacy, public safety, Canadian service people, the advancement of Aboriginal people, health, wellness, the environment and animal protection.

Contributions to the Johnny Bower Foundation will ensure that these causes continue to be supported.

My mother fell and broke her hip four years ago at a retirement home in Etobicoke when she was 92 years old. As she needed 24-7 care at the retirement home while she was being put on a waiting list for a room at a long-term care facility, I contacted First Class Home Care (FCHC) who we had used for four months in the past after my mother hurt her leg badly. First Class Home Care very quickly mobilized a team of excellent Care Managers to be with my mom as soon as she was discharged from the hospital and provided the 24-7 coverage my mom needed.

The Care Managers from FCHC followed her to the hospital and stayed with her while she was there. The Care Managers from FCHC were also very knowledgeable on how to look after my mom as her dementia gradually became worse.
