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.

We managed well like this for many years until August 2014 when everything changed. My mother’s health started to decline in various ways.
