Refugee Kids Share Their Stories

This powerful video features refugee students talking about their experiences before coming to Canada. Produced by Crossing Borders, a refugee group at Waterloo Collegiate Institute, supervised by Lynn Schulze. Hearing stories like these is why Goodie Goodie wants to help refugee youth by providing training and jobs in the baking industry.

COMPASS Refugee Centre

We’re super-excited about working with COMPASS Refugee Centre to hire our refugee youth staff. COMPASS staff will provide translation services as well as assist with essential job-seeking skills such as resume writing and interview techniques. Our goal is to help youth registered in our program to transition from their temporary Goodie Goodie jobs to permanent employment in the baking industry.

Carts

We’ll be selling our yummy treats from these little portable carts. They'll be at our pop-up shop as well as remote events in the KW area.

All of our baked goods are priced at less than $2  (which is why there's an image of a Toonie on our carts)

The Peace Signs Project

Students photographing the famous (and the not-so-famous) flashing a peace sign to show their commitment to peace

Goodie Goodie grew out of the Peaceworks non-profit organization, and one of their programs that received a lot of attention was "The Peace Signs Project".  Politicians, musicians, school board directors, police/fire chiefs and other community leaders across Canada took part in the project and you can view this amazing collection of photographs by clicking on The Peace Signs Project link.
