Here are some testimonials about the Tour for Humanity:

“The presentation included a lot of information-very eye opening for the students. Connections between cyber-bullying and historical events were made-very important!”

Mrs. McCrindle Gr. 7/8 Teacher, Simcoe County District School Board

“I was bullied, you feel lonely in times of bullying, people are aware of what to do but they don’t always apply their knowledge so it’s important to discuss so we know what to do and how to prevent bullying from happening”

Shannon, Gr.6, Ottawa Catholic District School Board

“Belleville is very fortunate to have the Tour of Humanity, a very innovative educational outreach initiative in our community. This is an excellent opportunity to educate the youth, young adults and our community in our collaborative efforts to improve the safety and well-being of a community.”

Cory McMullan, Chief of Police, Bellevile

“I was so excited to see that the Friends of Simcoe Wiesenthal Centre had developed an innovative way to deliver their outstanding curriculum locally through a mobile classroom. South Simcoe Police is excited to welcome the Tour for Humanity bus to our communities and I am impressed with the positive response that we are seeing from not only our officers, but also from our community leaders and media partners”

Richard Beazley, Chief of Police, South Simcoe Police Service

“I commend this innovative approach to community outreach. Through workshops on topics including the Holocaust, genocide, bullying, heroes and leadership, more students, educators and law enforcement representatives across Ontario will not only be educated, they will be moved. And that’s when learning is most effective – when it illuminates and guides who we are. . . Good work nourishes the soul. It can change lives.”

Former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, David Onley

“…The Tour for Humanity bus is such an important initiative from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center. I am so pleased that people across Ontario will have an opportunity to learn about tolerance and inclusiveness in such a unique way. Those values are the foundation of a fair society, and my government is proud to support this project…”

The Hon. Kathleen Wynne, Premiere of Ontario

“Upon seeing the Tour’s bus I was struck… viscerally by two… thoughts – first, just how fantastic this bus will be as an educational tool for spreading the message of tolerance, social justice and human rights, but, conversely, that it is a shame that we still struggle to achieve a world in which these values are held by all…. I have no doubt as this bus crosses our province spreading its message that the Tour for Humanity will be instrumental in achieving positive change.”

Andrea Horwath, Leader, Ontario NDP

“We were very excited to hear about the Tour For Humanity… Being a board that… is some distance from Toronto, we are excited about the Centre bringing this wonderful learning opportunity right to our board.”

Bonnie Talbot, Superintendent of Education, Upper Grand District School Board
