Last year, the Community Priorities Fund awarded over $420,700 in grant funding to 64 diverse projects across our region. Donors who want to be more active with their funds and decide which causes and charities their gifts will support can choose between our Field of Interest, Donor-Advised, and Donor-Designated Funds, the latter of which includes scholarships. Combined, we have 127 of these types of funds, and they supported our community with over $203,800 in grants last year. While the Henry S. Varley Fund for Rural Life is, by definition, a Field of Interest, restricted to projects enhancing life in rural Southwestern Alberta, it is the only Field of Interest Fund that charities can apply to directly. This past year, it supported rural initiatives with over $125,500 in grant funding. Through our various funds and their respective granting programs, we remain the largest community-funded funding body in Southwestern Alberta.

By the spring season, KBA teams were travelling and competing in games and tournaments across the province. The KBA applied to the Community Foundation’s Youth in Action program in early 2019, receiving a $2,000 grant, the maximum awarded by the program. The funding enabled the purchase of much-needed equipment for the burgeoning program, including home and away jerseys, sneakers, and more basketballs. “We just had a couple of balls initially,” says First Charger. She notes that there are a number of challenges faced by participants—chiefly, poverty and transportation—but the grant helped to inspire the community to join together and overcome these barriers as a group. “Through the bonds, the friendships, and the relationships that were built, we had a really great core [group] of parents that came together and really pushed for fundraising for the kids.” Being able to cover the extra costs enabled the KBA to send teams to several tournaments, including one in Las Vegas that capped off their spring season. First Charger estimates that around 100 kids have come Players work on lunges at a Kainai through the program since it began, and the difference it Basketball Association practice in 2019. makes in their lives is self-evident. “We’re increasing physical activity among the youth we’re serving, and we’re motivating Kainai Basketball Association: other kids to get active,” she says. “A lot of the kids on the teams have become role models for the younger kids, and Enhancing Community through it’s been awesome to see the friendships that have formed. [Some] of the kids were shy, and we’ve seen them kind of Teamwork blossom.

  • State of the City Address – Mayor Ed Holder February 16, 2021
    State of the City Address – Mayor Ed Holder February 16, 2021 Good morning and thank you for the kind introduction. My thanks as well to the Chamber of Commerce for hosting this event as it has for the last 42 years. This remains the largest gathering of its kind in all of Canada, virtual or otherwise, and the credit for building this into the annual tradition it has become belongs to Gerry Macartney. As we know, after 24 years as CEO of the London Chamber, Gerry is set to officially retire from his role by the end of the month -- meaning this is the final State of the City organized under his leadership. Gerry has never shied away from a challenge, and he’s entirely fearless when tackling difficult issues. It seems fitting then, that pulling together a State of the City, under these circumstances through a pandemic, would be one of his last official acts as Chamber CEO. Gerry, I have met few people with your clarity of thought, vision, and commitment to service. You are an icon in London’s business community, and we honour your leadership. When speaking of leadership, I also want to recognize and highlight the efforts of our City Manager Lynne Livingstone. She officially took over the job on March 1st of last year. Less than three weeks later, our entire province was under lockdown. To say her introduction to the role was baptism by fire would be an extreme understatement. To say she’s been anything less than phenomenal would be an even greater mischaracterization.

  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.
