About Joey

Joseph Conte, known as Joey, was born in Etobicoke, Ontario on May 16, 1986. Joey was a compassionate and generous man who had a strong passion for the outdoors, animals, adventure and a deep connection to people in need and children. He was part of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Toronto, where he maintained relationships with troubled youth. In his personal life, Joey ensured that those near and dear to him were always taken care of. If they were ever in need he was their go to person. On his spare time he was a competitive Body Builder who competed on the National Level. As an aspiring Fire Fighter, Joey was in the process of achieving his dream.
​
Joey’s tragic death on October 24, 2011, affected many people in different ways. He left behind loving parents, a brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew, countless family members, friends and his beloved dog Lily.

​In order to preserve his memory, his parents along with friends and family founded the Joey Conte Foundation (JCF).

​The JCF is committed to raise funds to the Burns and Plastics Unit at SickKids Hospital in Joey’s memory. With the help of our community and supports, we have raised over $400,000 to date. We have purchased a variety of equipment for the Burns and Plastics Unit and have a room at the Hospital named after Joey. We are currently raising funds for Project Horizon to build a new SickKids.
