The University of Alberta’s vision since its inception 100 years ago has been to be one of the world’s great universities for the public good, an institution for the “uplifting of the whole people” in the words of our first president, Henry Marshall Tory. Today that vision endures and is built upon a foundation of institutional values, vision, mission, and cornerstones. The university is one of the largest employers in Alberta, with more than 14,000 full- and part-time employees. Nearly 70,000 direct and indirect jobs in Alberta are the result of the existence of the University of Alberta. TEC Edmonton, a partnership between the university and Edmonton Economic Development Corporation, brings the results of innovation to the benefit of Albertans by fostering commercialization of research. Technology transfer stimulates economic growth through the creation of spinoff companies and technology licensing to existing companies.

For over 65 years The Alberta Safety Council (ASC) has been a leader in ‘Making Alberta a Safer Place to Live, Work and Play,’ by offering the most current, cutting edge safety training services, educational materials and safety support to communities across Alberta. Since our inception, we estimate that over 1 million Albertans have been touched by one of our programs. As a self-sustaining charitable organization, the ASC relies on the revenue generated through our programs, services, memberships, as well as the donations and goodwill support from volunteers, individuals, corporations and community partners. But safety comes at a price. Each year, the ASC must turn away thousands seeking safety training and education due to lack of available training space. We must expand our programs and services or run the risk of injury. With your support and a donation, you can ensure that all Albertans stay safe by receiving the necessary training and education to do just that.

Founded in 1948 as the St Catharines Civic Orchestra by Jan Wolanek, the Niagara Symphony was initially a community orchestra; its governing body assumed the name St. Catharines Symphony Association in 1963 and changed it in 1978 to the Niagara Symphony Association to reflect increased regional responsibilities. Now a 52-piece professional orchestra, the Niagara Symphony operates under a collective agreement with Local 298 of the AF of M. It is a professional music resource serving all communities in the Niagara Region. Each season includes four Masterworks programs and four POPS programs - 12 concerts each year. The Symphony delivers programs, performances and musical services at the highest possible professional level, serving the musical needs and expectations of the Region's residents and visitors. Through its outstanding contribution to the cultural ecology of the Niagara Region, the Niagara Symphony is an example of what makes Niagara a great place in which to live.

The Peterborough Humane Society, a registered charitable organization dependent on public donations, was established in 1941. As an Affiliated Society of the OSPCA, with the mandate to facilitate and provide for the prevention of cruelty to animals and their relief therefrom, our Humane Society offers a wide range of vital services to the community. Working in cooperation with many agencies and departments we continue promoting responsible pet ownership concepts through community outreach, one-on-one encounters with residents and the use of legal action as the last resort. Approximately 1,500 animals are received at the shelter each year, many of which are lost, injured or abandoned. While in our care they are provided with food, care, shelter and lots of love and attention. We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Peterborough Humane Society is grateful to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their wonderful support and dedication.

The Group of 78 is an association of Canadians committed to leadership in the promotion of global stewardship: a Canadian foreign policy based on the pursuit of peace, justice and global survival. The Group began in 1980 when several concerned and distinguished Canadians crafted a statement on how Canada could contribute to the building of a peaceful, secure world. In November 1981 that statement, Canadian Foreign Policy in the 80s, was sent to Prime Minister Trudeau. It was signed by 78 Canadians – a group of 78. The statement set out three inter-related objectives. In summary: • removal of the threat of nuclear war • mobilization of resources to achieve a more equitable international order • strengthening and reform of the United Nations and other global institutions
