Why St. Clair West Businesses Are Handing Out Passports This November

Yellow Gazebo Wellness celebrates 14 years by bringing St. Clair West together for a community fundraiser. The Toronto wellness clinic launches a neighbourhood Passport Weekend and online silent auction in support of Seeds of Hope Foundation.

TORONTO, October 20, 2026 – Yellow Gazebo Wellness is celebrating its 14th anniversary by inviting the St. Clair West community to come together for a neighbourhood-wide fundraiser supporting Seeds of Hope Foundation, a Toronto-based charitable organization.

The initiative combines an online silent auction, launching October 29, with a St. Clair West Passport Weekend taking place November 6–8, 2026.

Organized by Yellow Gazebo Wellness, the event brings together participating neighbourhood businesses to encourage residents to explore their community, discover local shops and services, and contribute to a charitable cause.

A Passport to the Neighbourhood

During Passport Weekend, residents can pick up a free passport from Yellow Gazebo Wellness or participating businesses and visit six different participating locations to collect stamps.

No purchase is required to participate.

Once they’ve collected six stamps, participants can return their completed passports to Yellow Gazebo to receive a small prize, valued at approximately $20, while supplies last. They’ll also be entered into a draw to win one of three massage treatments.

The goal is simple: encourage people to explore St. Clair West, connect with local businesses, and experience what makes the neighbourhood special.

Fourteen Years of Community Connection

Since opening in 2012, Yellow Gazebo Wellness has grown into a multidisciplinary health and wellness clinic offering services including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, osteopathy, counselling, and naturopathic medicine. Throughout those years, the clinic has also organized charitable initiatives and fundraisers to support people and organizations in the broader Toronto community.

“For 14 years, this neighbourhood has supported us, and we’ve always believed that being part of a community means doing more than just running a business,” says Richard, owner of Yellow Gazebo Wellness.

“We’ve been organizing fundraisers for years, but this time we wanted to involve more of our neighbours. If we can help people discover a few great local businesses while also raising money for a Toronto charity, that’s something worth celebrating.”

Supporting Seeds of Hope Foundation

The fundraiser’s charitable beneficiary, Seeds of Hope Foundation, supports people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and social isolation in Toronto.

The online silent auction will feature donated goods, services, and experiences, with proceeds supporting the foundation’s work.

Local businesses and community members are encouraged to participate, contribute auction items, and help spread the word.
