OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, July 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is grateful to the support and generosity of spirit demonstrated by Hyper Hippo Entertainment. Thanks to this donation, the LHF will continue to produce education materials and exhibitions that speak to the rich histories, as well as the impacts of abuses on 7 generations of Indigenous Peoples and communities as a result of attending Residential and Day Schools, and/or being affected by the Sixties Scoop.

As an extension of their core purpose – making entertainment that has a positive impact on the world – Hyper Hippo is also committed to creating positive social change in their communities, through giving back, volunteering, and supporting community-focused organizations. Hyper Hippo has provided a generous donation to LHF which will continue the work to educate Canadians about the histories of Indigenous Peoples and the harms that they face caused by the Residential and Day Schools and the Sixties Scoop within Canada.

“Our team at Hippo was keen to support Indigenous Peoples and communities. As we were researching organizations, Legacy of Hope Foundation’s focus on promoting education and awareness stood out to us as we believe this is such an important component of truth and Reconciliation,” said Jennifer Kilback, Chief Business Officer at Hyper Hippo.

“We are so thankful to Hyper Hippo for their kindness and generosity. When people come together to support Indigenous issues, we get that much closer to Reconciliation and a brighter future for everyone,” said Teresa Edwards, Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel at the LHF.
