The Farmlands Trust Society was established in March 2008 to enhance the farming capability of Mt. Newton Valley, rehabilitate the stream ecology of Hagan Creek and create a community trail system. In the summer of 2009, the members began expanding the geographic, and social scope of the organization to cover all the peoples and lands of Greater Victoria. As a professional organization, the members declared the next phase of its mandate would emphasize collaboration, farmland management and outreach to meet the community's requirements among the socially disadvantaged/marginalized individuals in our society. Charitable Status was granted in June 2011 by Canada Revenue Agency.

What is the philosophy of Conductive Education? Conductive education is neither therapy, treatment nor cure. It recognizes motor disorders as chronic conditions which result in problems of learning or relearning which will respond to appropriate teaching. Conductive Education fully acknowledges that children or adults with motor disorders may have continuing medical needs, which will benifit from appropriate medical intervention. This does not deny the needs for teaching and learning. Conductive Education asserts that there is much more to living and development than the medical and the social. There is the phycological too and, as in every sphere of human life, this is best addressed by education in its wildest sense. Further, as in all excellent education, the goal of Conductive Education is to create autonomous learners who go on to learn, adapt and develop under their own direction, because that is how they now are.
