The Glowing Hearts Canada project is a new movement collecting responses from coast to coast to coast to share and support Canadian charities.
"When I sing 'with glowing hearts' I sometimes remember when that phrase first sparked my imagination, some time just before 2016 at the Abbotsford Air Show when a plane was flying a routine to the music of O Canada playing in the background. It was such a peaceful scene, and in a moment of serenity that phrase stood out in my mind, and the idea for this movement was born. Now when I sing it, I think of what actually makes my heart glow and feel warm, and I feel compelled to tell others about those things."
