Episode Details

In this episode of Conversations with Neighbours, host Myles Doak sits down with Mike Smith, co-founder of the Newmarket/Aurora chapter of 100 Men Who Give a Damn!.

Launched in 2016, the group brings men together on a quarterly basis to support local charities through a simple but powerful model, giving back with minimal time commitment and maximum impact. Since its inception, the organization has raised thousands of dollars for community initiatives across Newmarket and Aurora.

Mike shares how the idea came to life, the impact it has had on local organizations, and why community-driven giving continues to matter. The conversation highlights how small commitments can lead to meaningful change, and how anyone can play a role in strengthening their community.
