PAST EVENTS

The joyous camaraderie of a rib-aching, eye-tearing group laugh is one of life’s simplest, but greatest pleasures. It makes us feel wonderful and creates a special bond among those sharing the moment.
With generously donated performances by some of Canada’s most talented comedians, and with the help of Presenting Sponsor, Franklin Templeton Investments, Raising the Roof’s Annual April Fools Weekend of Comedy takes place in Halifax in March and in Toronto in April.

In Halifax

Our Annual Raising the Roof Comedy Night, featuring the incredible Elvira Kurt happened March 1, 2011. This intimate evening went to support Raising the Roof partner-agencies, Supportive Housing for Young Mothers (SHYM) and Metro Non-Profit Housing – both community-based organizations delivering services and supports to help people who are homeless or at risk of losing their home.

 

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The money raised from comedy events in Toronto and Halifax helps to fund programs that support long-term solutions to homelessness and are ultimately aimed at helping people all across Canada find and keep safe, adequate housing.
