Today's love story comes from BJ & Frank from Toronto, ON.
What began as a photo taken of their child being born - turned into a whirlwind of political hatred and a very long lawsuit. Meet BJ & Frank: teachers, adventurers and fathers. And while their son, Milo, was born, a photo was taken of him in the arms of his fathers. However, this photo was stolen by a right-wing political party in Italy for a campaign AGAINST gay parents. Fast forward 7 years and a very long lawsuit later, BJ and Frank win the case and share their story with us.
This is a story about overcoming hardship, the vulnerability of being true to yourself and how sometimes, children can bring out the best in a relationship.

Today's story comes from Greg Scott & Hali ScottSmith from Hornby Island, BC.
Finding common ground with your child can be tough (especially during those pre-teen years), but Greg Scott made it his mission to not only form genuine bonds with both his children - but share it with the rest of the world. From taking his son to bike across Canada together and then taking his daughter, Hali, to ski all 44 slops in BC within 44 days. His bond with his children was a gift he wanted to share with everyone - and that blossomed into the "Tidbits of Change Foundation."
This is a story about strong parental/mentor bonding, finding activities to share with your children and learning to value quality time while your kids grow.
