Metchosin’s coast, meadows, forest, woodlands and mountainous areas include some of Canada’s rarest species and ecosystems. Being located in the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains has produced a mild, seasonally dry climate that favours flora and fauna that are unique in Canada. Our Garry oak woodland is one of the rarest ecosystems in Canada, featuring displays of camas and fawn lilies that draw admirers from far and wide. The remnant old growth Coastal Douglas-fir forests at Mary Hill and Rocky Point are considered globally significant. The Metchosin Foundation was started in order to preserve our rare species and the forests and meadows that they inhabit. To that end we work with landowners to ensure that the landscapes they love will be protected into the future. Facilitating and supporting conservation covenants is the main tool at our disposal to help preserve these ecosystems.

The 1st CLC course in Canada was held in Windsor, Ontario in 1953. Courses have been offered continuously since that date, and have spread across the country from Vancouver Island to Cape Breton. CLC courses are currently offered in six provinces from coast to coast. Each year, more than 1,000 Canadians join the ranks of CLC's successful graduates. Our Instructors CLC courses are taught by dedicated teams of qualified volunteers who have themselves benefited from taking the course and undertaken to pass on to others the skills that they received. CLC course instructors additionally benefit from more advanced on-going training. This important feature -- that all CLC instructors are graduates of the program -- makes possible programs which are sensitive in their approach, time-proven in their effectiveness and yet affordable. As a non-profit educational and charitable organization the fee is only for the cost of materials and administration.

Samuel McLaughlin (founder of General Motors Canada)and his family. Parkwood is praised by Canada’s Historic Site and Monuments Board as “a rare surviving example of the type of estate developed in Canada during the inter-war years, and is rarer still by its essentially intact condition, furnished and run to illustrate as it was lived within.” The majestic estate that was once a private enclave experienced by a select few is now a National Historic Site, open year-round, to be enjoyed by all. The Parkwood Foundation has successfully raised $5 million to date, for conservation and preservation of this magnificent estate.

Our Vision A Winnipeg where community life flourishes.

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.
