I'd be happy to. I also want to echo the comments about Mr. Johnson and his incredible leadership in philanthropy. It's made a huge difference in our city and region. In fact, with regard to his many contributions, I spoke about community hubs earlier. The real leadership in terms of helping us invest and leverage government dollars through an investment in community hubs has allowed us to do very special things in neighbourhoods that really need it.
Around this measure, and to your earlier question, what's been very encouraging is that alongside the increase in stock donations, the increase in the United Way campaign has also kept pace with those donations at the same level. Today, United Way Toronto and York Region is the biggest United Way campaign in the world. We live in a very generous city. It's about a $100-million campaign. If you average out the gifts of securities over the 20 years, they represent about 8% of our total campaign every year.
So I would say that the two go hand in hand. At the same time, the gifts of securities provide a very important foundation for our campaign. The other gifts in terms of money are also quite important, allowing us to invest in a network of 200 community agencies and initiatives to help people succeed.
