Sound Bites is a brand new fundraising campaign to replace the Yukon Arts Centre theatre’s antiquated sound system. Although the existing sound system has served the theatre well over the past two decades, new technologies and YAC’s ongoing commitment to its enthusiastic audiences and talented user groups necessitates this vital upgrade. Each year 30,000 people of all ages (including some who come more than once) attend about 170 music, dance, film, theatre, multi-media, spoken word, festivals and other performing arts and cultural events at the Yukon Arts Centre, presented by 40 Yukon and Whitehorse arts organizations. Foundation volunteers have a goal to work with you – our valued community partners – to raise $90,000 towards the purchase of new state-of-the-art audio equipment. We look forward to reaching this milestone and celebrating the sweet sounds of success with you!

In the second phase, the International Program, participants train at Algonguin College in the construction trades before travelling to Guatemala for 3 weeks to work on a charitable building project. Along with the opportunity to travel and gain new skills through volunteer work placements, youth are able to earn up to 18 high school credits.

The CPFQ Child Sponsorship Program is designed to build bridges between the Canadian community and Palestinian children living under occupation or in refugee camps. Children enrolled in our program live under conditions of extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of them live in densely populated refugee camps. A suitable infrastructure is absent, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of residents. Many children suffer from serious health problems and disabilities. Due to financial hardship, many have to leave school at a very young age to help support their families. The severe restrictions on employment and movement make the future of these children very bleak. In addition to providing much needed financial assistance, the program helps maintain stable and rewarding relationships between each child and their sponsor. This simple message of hope can offset some of the effects of the chaotic and insecure conditions in which they live.

The story of Youth Singers of Calgary began in September, 1985, when Shirley Penner founded a small 28 voice Junior High choir at the Mount Royal Conservatory. Following four successful and exciting years of operation and growth, Shirley recognized a need in the community for a choral based performing arts organization that would add elements including dance, theatre, production, staging and lighting. Shirley enlisted help from fellow artists and educational professionals, and they came together to create an organization whose commitment to music, excellence in teaching and strong teamwork endures to this day. Almost thirty years later, Youth Singers continues to be a model for ingenuity, innovation and collaboration, providing broad performing arts training and opportunities for young people.

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.
