"Ontario March of Dimes is thrilled with the support we are receiving from QuickContractors.com. QuickContractors and its President, Trevor Bouchard, are assisting Ontario March of Dimes to develop and promote a brand new Sensitivity and Awareness workshop tailored to the needs of independent contractors. This workshop will increase contractors' expertise in meeting the needs of the one in six Canadians who have various types of disabilities.

QuickContractors has sponsored advertising that is raising community awareness of the many services Ontario March of Dimes provides for people with disabilities and is helping to raise funds to make these services available. QuickContractors President, Trevor Bouchard's, commitment to helping create a society inclusive of people with disabilities will make a huge positive difference in the lives of many people."
