We are incredibly grateful to Telus for their generous grant of $9,000 in support of our 2025 Family and Youth Summer Camp!
​
This special weekend is a cherished tradition for heart families and heart children across Manitoba—a place where lasting memories are made, friendships are formed, and everyone feels a true sense of belonging.
​
Thanks to Telus' support, we’re thrilled to continue offering this unforgettable experience completely free for all heart children. Their contribution ensures we can maintain all the beloved programming from previous years without increasing costs, keeping camp accessible and full of fun for everyone involved.

​Finding out your child has congenital or acquired heart disease is extremely stressful. One in 100 Canadian children are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and more than half need surgery to survive.
A new diagnosis brings many questions and feelings of uncertainty. You are not alone. The Circle of Hearts Family Support Network is a non-profit children's charity made up of parents and caregivers who have children with congenital or acquired heart defects.
The Circle of Hearts represents all pediatric heart patients and families of the HSC Travis Price Children's Heart Centre, who span over Manitoba, Nunavut, parts of NW Ontario and Eastern Saskatchewan.
We believe that it is of great benefit to communicate with families who have gone through similar situations. It can help prepare your family for some of the situations and feelings all of you experience. We aim to provide emotional and educational support to those who are in need, as well as a means of networking among families whose children are affected by heart disease.
​
Along with providing such support to our families, the Circle of Hearts also provides fun family activities throughout the year to show our heart children that there is more to the HSC Travis Price Children's Heart Centre than being a cardiac patient.
