2023 Year in Review
At the heart of our organization lies a deep commitment to making a positive impact on the communities we serve
I joined the Mount Pleasant Group (MPG) as President & CEO on October 31, 2022. I am very grateful for this unique opportunity to learn from and work alongside a tremendous team of colleagues who are deeply committed to supporting grieving and bereaved families in and around Toronto. After all, that has been the mission of MPG for nearly two centuries.

We’re meeting the needs
We performed more funerals than in any previous year in our company's history.
Construction began at our York and Elgin Mills sites on sustainable, self-sufficient niche buildings powered using geo-thermal and solar energy.
We provided funeral services to more than 200 families who experienced COVID-19 related losses.
We made casket rental prices more affordable for our clients.
We helped reduce stress levels of both clients and staff through a Therapy Dogs pilot project at Pine Hills Funeral Centre.

We're going beyond our core services
We continued to provide much-needed support and doubled our donations to 14 hospices and palliative care organizations across the GTA.
Working through Hospice and Palliative Care Ontario (HPCO), we funded:
12 bursaries providing full HPCO conference registrations and accommodations for Indigenous delegates
30 full registration bursaries to staff or volunteers from 15 hospices in the GTA
We have contributed more than $1M in financial support to HPCO since our partnership began in 2011.
Fiscal 2023 was the third consecutive year that we have donated to 36 food banks throughout the GTA, as the need has never been greater.
So far, we have donated more than $800,000 to this essential cause.
