The Friends of Algonquin Park was established in 1983 as a non profit registered charity. The Friends operate as a cooperating association under an agreement with the Ontario Parks to enhance the educational and interpretive programs in Algonquin Park.

The activities of The Friends of Algonquin are coordinated by a volunteer Board of Directors who reside in different parts of Ontario. Since its establishment, The Friends has grown to a membership of over 3000 people, and continues to attract support from around the world.

Since 1988, the Festival has been part of the cultural and social ecology of the province. We are the only international and multi-disciplinary performing arts festival dedicated to the children in Saskatchewan, and we believe that creative, diverse and culturally aware communities don't happen by accident.

Imagination grows strong when we feed it the right stuff --- the confidence to try something new, the perspective to see something in a fresh way, the compassion to connect with those in a different situation.
