The Big Impact: Emma and Lois – A Match That Grows Together
THE STORY OF EMMA & LOIS
In early 2023, Emma was matched with her Big Sister, Lois. They were the very first Big Sister + Little Sister match of the year at BBBS North Simcoe. From the very beginning, their bond was rooted in curiosity, creativity, and shared time outdoors.
Over the past two years, Lois and Emma have explored everything from baking and biking to gardening, swimming, and crafting. What started as a weekly commitment quickly blossomed into something more: a relationship built on trust, support, and fun.
As part of our one-to-one community-based mentoring program, matches like Lois and Emma meet regularly, building a connection that supports the Little’s social development, self-confidence, and sense of belonging.
In 2024, we celebrated their first match anniversary, a milestone filled with joy and reflection. Now, as they mark their second year together, we continue to be inspired by the depth of their connection.
These two remind us that mentorship isn’t just about one activity or one moment. It’s about showing up, week after week, and growing together.
