What is REFLECTIONS?

REFLECTIONS is a fundraising and awareness effort fred eaglesmithstarted by Juno-winning singer Fred Eaglesmith to help ensure the safety of migrant workers by providing them with reflective equipment for bicycle transportation on the roads at night. REFLECTIONS is obtaining, buying and installing reflective devices throughout Southern Ontario. REFLECTIONS partners are the Rural Initiative for Social Equality, the Sexual Assault Centre of Brant, the Migrant Workers Support Centre and generous donors like you.

Join REFLECTIONS

We need your donations: For a $1 donation, you can inscribe a symbolic reflector in our display at the Hobo Store in Port Dover and on our website. You can personalize it with any message you choose, or leave it blank! The money you donate will go toward the purchase of safety reflectors for bicycles, which will then be installed by Reflections volunteers.

How can you donate? Email REFLECTIONS by clicking here and we will get in touch -- or stop by the Hobo Store in Port Dover or Fred's 12th Annual Charity Picnic in Aylmer!

We need your help: We would love volunteers to come out and help us install reflectors. To become a volunteer, please email us at reflections4migrantworkers@yahoo.ca
