Annual General Body Meeting

Webinar Outreach Wing

Smita Chandra

Founding Member & Chair

Our webinar outreach wing or wow has been presenting webinars to our communities for the past 6 years, bringing the best health professionals in the field to educate our audience about health matters and helping them take preventive measures for their health.

Every year, we offer four webinars on different topics such as dementia, stroke, heart health, mental illness, depression and much more.

Our audience has grown since our first webinar in 2020, now reaching almost 2000! Our Zoom webinars are always well attended with about 400+ registrants, and those who are unable to make it, watch it later on our Youtube channel, which is a great resource.

Our team recently visited Roofs For The Roofless, supported by TREWO and saw how our help and monetary assistance goes a long way towards educating deserving young people to equip them with skills needed to succeed in life.

Best regards,

Imagination Ball

Narinderpal Singh

Chair, Gala Committee

The Annual Imagination Gala 2025 was a huge success with a record number of 625 attendees! We were also able to increase the number of high end sponsorships and maintain the others that have supported us year after year.

We were happy to donate $50,000/ to Trillium Health Partner Foundation and launch the Ravi Juneja memorial fund. $ 10,000/ was also designated to Roofs for The Roofless towards total Health care for Seniors and mental health care for students at the Roofs Community College.

We honoured Ms Amandeep Kaur from Punjabi Community Health Services, Brampton and Dr Verjinder Ubhi, Family Physician from Mississauga, for their outstanding contributions to the community. The Shah Family Foundation and Baylis Foundation was recognised by Neil Godara for supporting our projects with IMPACT and Roofs for the Roofless.

I am most grateful to our hard working committee who put in many hours of work to make this Gala a great success. A few hard working individuals made all the difference! My gratitude to the young volunteers who sold the Raffle tickets and Volunteers at the reception who welcomed guests.

We look forward to yet another great event this year.

TREWO Trailblazers

Ananthie Alex

Chair

The TREWO family warmly welcomes Adina and Aayush and is proud of their ambition, creativity, and dedication to reaching young people.

The TREWO Trailblazers have committed to organizing two events annually under the leadership of co-chairs Adina Alex and Aayush Rao.

In February 2026, the Trailblazers successfully hosted the Workgroup Youth Seminar, “How AI Is Rewiring Childhood,” featuring keynote speaker Miguel Martinez. Planning is now underway for the next youth event, which will take place in October 2026.

The Trailblazers also made an outstanding contribution to TREWO’s fundraising efforts by raising over $7,000 through raffle ticket sales alone. This remarkable achievement reflects their enthusiasm, determination, teamwork, and willingness to support the organization. Their energy and dedication made a meaningful difference to the success of the event and deserves special recognition.

HealthLIT

Rahul Varghese

Founding Member & Chair

Welcome to HealthLIT, where health information reaches people where they are!

HealthLIT was established to expand The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization’s (TREWO) reach of health education by meeting younger audiences on popular digital platforms. HealthLIT combines evidence-based health education with innovative storytelling to make important health information engaging, accessible, and relevant.

As technology continues to reshape the way people learn and apply information, we recognize the importance of communicating trusted health knowledge in accessible formats. By combining the expertise of healthcare professionals with the talents of creative volunteers, HealthLIT amplifies TREWO’s longstanding commitment to community outreach and education, communicating topical and relevant health literacy information to youth and young adult audiences.

HealthLIT’s short form video content disseminates information on health topics that empower individuals and communities to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. HealthLIT also features health professionals from the Webinar Outreach Wing’s (WOW) extended webinar series, in addition to speakers that present a lens of particular interest to younger adults, on a range of cutting edge health and wellness topics.

Our goal is not only to educate, but also to inspire meaningful conversations about health, encourage preventative care, and cultivate healthier communities through informed choices. Behind every piece of content is a dedicated team of volunteers who contribute their diverse talents in medicine, research, communications, design, editing, and digital media, to ensure that accurate, evidence-based health information remains accessible to younger generations in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, collaborators, and supporters, especially The Ripple Effect Wellness Organization, whose passion and generosity continue to strengthen this mission. Your encouragement inspires us to innovate, create, and expand our reach so that together, we can empower more people through knowledge.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Stay curious, stay informed and stay healthy!

With gratitude,
Rahul Varghese
