As the leading toy and baby retailers in Canada, Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us Canada are committed to giving back to our communities. Children are central to who we are and what we do, so it will come as no surprise that kids are the focus of our charity work.

We focus our efforts on helping children when they need us most, supporting children with special needs, keeping kids safe, and offering support to seriously ill or disabled children and their families.

AUTISM SPEAKS CANADA

Autism Speaks Canada's mission is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. They are dedicated to funding global research; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. Autism Speaks Canada aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to the concerns of children and families who live with autism and to take action to address this urgent global health crisis.

Toys"R"Us Canada became a proud National sponsor of Autism Speaks Canada. Toys"R"Us U.S. is a long time sponsor of Autism Speaks U.S. and with Toys"R"Us Canada can now make a difference right across North America.

Each March and April we run a support campaign where we sell Autism Speaks puzzle pieces in our stores
    and online.

We are a National sponsor for the Walk Now for Autism Speaks program.

We provide French translation services to Autism Speaks Canada.

Our President, Kevin Macnab, is a member of the Autism Speaks Canada Board of Directors.

Since our partnership with Autism Speaks launched in 2007, Toys"R"Us, Inc. and customers contributions have combined to provide Autism Speaks with more than $10 million across North America.

Today, 1 in 110 children are diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls.
