Push for change for the homeless
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
Which led in the end to Roberts push- ing a shopping cart 9000 kilometres across Canada, from Newfoundland to B.C., to promote public awareness of the plight of homeless people. He is trundling through southern Québec now and expects to ar- rive in Eastern Ontario, in Hawkesbury, on Sept. 22. Plans are afoot for a welcome to On- tario gathering when Roberts arrives in Hawkesbury, after which he will continue on his way along County Road 17 towards Ottawa. Continuing on along County Road 17 to- wards Ottawa, Roberts is expected to arrive in Rockland on Sept. 25. Russell County OPP have a barbecue welcome and fundraiser planned at the Jean-Marc Lalonde Arena, starting at 10 a.m. Roberts then heads on for Ottawa and from there turns west to make his way to British Columbia, with the goal of arriving in Vancouver on Sept. 30, 2017, completing his 9000-kilometre trek.. Those who want more details on Rob- erts’ journey or who want to keep track of him en route, can go to www.thepushfor- change.com.
The OPP is waiting to welcome Joe Roberts to Ontario. In his younger days Roberts used to be one of Canada’s homeless. His “living ad- dress” was under a bridge. Now he’s a suc- cessful businessman, former president and chief executive officer of his own successful multimedia company, but he still remem- bers the hardships that he went through three decades ago. The same situation that many Canadians who are homeless now must endure. He wants to do something about that. A chance meeting on a business flight fromVancouver to Calgary brought Roberts in contact with Dr. Sean Richardson, a for- mer elite athlete who now holds a doctor- ate in performance psychology. Their chat together during that flight resulted in the creation of The Push for Change project. “Both of us, in our different ways, have always lived in the context that anything is possible,” stated Roberts.

The overall goals are: to inspire Canadians “with the idea that anything is possible”; raisemoney and help stimulate change “for
a significant cause”; and meet with people, both one-on-one and in groups, to encour- age them to take personal action themselves “to help make a difference.”
