We're pleased to support this program in Ontario and British Columbia."

Malton holds a special place in Nav Bhatia's heart, as it is where he first started his journey in Canada. As he put it, "I was so happy after the camp in Malton. I wanted to give back to the city that gave me the opportunity here in Canada. Kids and their parents enjoyed an experience like they have never been a part of before. Not only am I bringing back the camp to Malton, but I am taking it to Victoria and Vancouver this summer, which I am very excited about!"
