A Fresh Look, Same Mission: Explore our Website Updates

Leana and friends jump for joy

The redesigned Operation Smile Canada website is your go-to destination to experience the impact you’ve made, learn about cleft conditions, and explore how you can get involved. It’s packed with inspiring stories, detailed program updates, and helpful resources tailored for you.

The new website was a labour of love, with the goal of helping us better reflect and uphold our organization’s values:

RESILIENCE: Operation Smile relies on the gracious support of our donors and partners to deliver comprehensive cleft care to children around the world. Inspiring new friends to join us is an essential way to build resilience in our programs that can withstand unexpected disruptions that can affect donations (such as postal strikes for example). Our homepage now shares a core belief front and center that lets someone know what we’re all about as soon as you visit. You’ll also be able to find out more about us under the (you guessed it!) “About Us” menu title.

IMPACT: We’ve always been committed to making the strongest impact possible for the communities we serve – and our new website will help us more effectively share that impact with those that make it possible (you!). Our website has more images than ever showing the beautiful smiles that you make possible, plus it takes you through the comprehensive cleft journey your gift provides – from surgery to nutrition, oral health, speech therapy, and psychosocial support.

COMPASSION: Our new website has more storytelling than ever. The children we serve have always been our top priority – and now you’ll get to meet more of them on every page of the website. And with every story you read, you can feel good that it was sourced and received ethically and with dignity.

INTEGRITY: We have more detailed information on our website than ever. From financials to how many children were helped in each medical specialty; our website is now better organized to help visitors more easily find the information they need to make an informed decision about supporting us.

We hope you enjoy the design, resources, and love poured into the new website.
