Grant Recipients
Tides Canada grant recipients are some of the most exciting and innovative charities in Canada.
Donations to Tides Canada go to charities that are addressing issues like climate change, wilderness protection, marine conservation, aboriginal issues, poverty, and international development. Founded by visionaries and led by innovators, these organizations are creating lasting conservation and social justice outcomes.
Meet a few of these forward-thinking change makers who are making the world a better place.
Food Share
Toronto-based Food Share has worked on food and hunger issues for 22 years. Their award-winning grassroots projects promote healthy eating, teach food preparation and cultivation, develop community capacity, and create non-market based forms of food distribution.
Power To Be Adventure Therapy Society
Power To Be connects disadvantaged children and at-risk youth to nature by providing them with outdoor recreational and leadership programs.
Seeds of Diversity Canada
Started in 1984 in response to concerns that historically, culturally, and ecologically important heritage plants were in danger of being lost forever, Seeds of Diversity Canada has nearly 1,500 active members, mostly volunteers, dedicated to preserving heirloom plants.
Tlingit Family Learning Centre
The Tlingit Family Learning Centre in northern British Columbia is preparing Taku River Tlingit First Nation children academically and socially for public school, and helping Tlingit parents develop culturally relevant parenting skills. Started by a member of the community, it employs mothers for the preschool and child care program, and offers an after-school program, language classes taught by two elders, nutritious meals, a resource library, employment counseling, and training.
Toxic Free Canada
Toxic Free Canada brings together environmentalists and health activists, unions, scientists, and cancer prevention advocates to eliminate health and environmental toxins. Their name is their goal — a Toxic Free Canada.
York Region Alliance to End Homelessness
This group is sounding the alarm about a severe lack of affordable housing and inadequate emergency shelter in Ontario’s York Region and works to increase the profile of affordable housing as a fundamental building block of a healthy community.
