We use long term education strategies – our new Live-In school is a prime example – for youth to recover and earn high school credits quickly and strategically; benefitting from an educational approach that is highly attentive and encourages self-responsibility. We use physical activity and outdoor adventure as a key motivator. We teach Math and English curriculum and a host of other engaging credits. The character gains our students have made are proving to be profound and enduring. We also use group-education strategies in partnership with four schools located in some of Toronto’s highest risk neighbourhoods. The goal here is to help our school partners improve their own institutions. These schools send their highest needs kids to Boundless as a group, where they learn to lead, and after they return to Toronto, become re-engaged with the broader school community. They earn credits while doing so.

For more than 17 years, Science Alberta Foundation (SAF) has created and delivered innovative programs that promote science literacy in Alberta. We stand alone in taking science where it’s needed most — to families, teachers, librarians and local organizations; within homes, classrooms and learning facilities; from the largest cities to the smallest towns in every corner of Canada’s fastest growing province. Our efforts are inspiring minds and changing futures. As science-related issues become more prevalent in our daily lives and the need for skilled knowledge-workers continues to grow, Science Alberta Foundation will have an even more important role to play. Built on a founding vision of scientific learning as a catalyst to continued prosperity in the global marketplace, SAF has emerged as North America’s first and only source of science-related programs and resources for parents, teachers, librarians and local organizations to use in their homes, classrooms and facilities.

Since 1993, we have helped protect over 11,000 acres of special natural lands in central Ontario; north Simcoe County and Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes. Properties and conservation easements have been donated to us by individuals with a great love for nature. We also manage properties owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Our goal is to protect natural lands by: • accepting donations of significant lands to manage as nature reserves • entering into conservation easements with willing owners to legally restrict future development • working cooperatively with other organizations to acquire or manage ecological lands • engaging private landowners and volunteers in positive conservation actions • increasing local knowledge and awareness about natural heritage conservation
