Not Just Tourists Toronto started in 2004 with a small group who were determined to make the project work. We now have a steering committee, dozens of volunteers, a growing number of doctors and nurses who work with us. Working together and sharing the load, we send tonnes of medicines and medical supplies to Cuba and other developing countries. Any community can make this project a success – it’s just a matter of scale.

In 2005 we were pleased to initiate a series of e-mail messages which we sent to contacts across Canada who were interested in forming NJT projects in their own communities. In part as a result of this process, projects are now functioning in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, and Kingston.

If you would like to receive this series of e-mails (one a week for six to eight weeks) please e-mail us at njttoronto@gmail.com. We’ll respond to any questions that you may have and be pleased to send you the e-mail messages on how to start an NJT project in your community.
