2 From the President & CEO
Change doesn’t happen overnight.
Change takes a bold vision, patience, and dedication – traits that are inherent in a changemaker. At Tides Canada, we are privileged to be part of a community of changemakers who share a common vision for a healthy environment and just Canadian society.
Every day, we strive to advance this vision in the face of intractable challenges and the ever-changing environment in which we work. We are encouraged and emboldened by our collective progress – whether measured in inches, or in leaps and bounds.
We are committed to advancing our mission in the most effective way and we are constantly evolving to respond to emerging social and environmental needs. In 2013, we examined the efficacy of our program and project efforts with the goal of focusing on how and where we can do our best work. I look forward to sharing the re-articulation of our core work this fall.
The 2013 year was also marked by some important milestones:
• Through our shared administrative platform, we welcomed five new projects to the Tides Canada family – Access Our Medicine, Arctic Funders Group, Diasporic Genius, Project Neutral, and the School for Social Entrepreneurs Ontario.
• Two new associates – Julie Price and Steve Ellis – joined our team to support the expansion of our project and program work in food and in the Canadian North, respectively.
• We marked the “Year of Reconciliation” building new relationships among Aboriginal and all Canadian peoples by collaborating on the work of Reconciliation Canada, which included a historic walk of 70,000 people through the heart of downtown Vancouver.
The steadfast expressions of support we continue to receive from Tides Canada donors, partners, and friends are uplifting reminders of the community of changemakers we proudly serve, and with whom we hold a shared vision for a better Canada. Thank you for your trust in us.
We look forward to what’s ahead and working with you to effect positive and lasting change in support of a healthy, vibrant, and prosperous Canada.
Ross McMillan President & CEO

4 Tides Canada Projects
Tides Canada houses a shared administrative platform that powers a range of social change projects and collaborations across Canada. Because many projects access a common base of expertise without the administrative burden of setting up individual organizations, the charitable sector benefits from more time and money directed to mission and impact.
In 2013, Tides Canada welcomed five new projects to its shared platform. The platform supports projects across seven social and environmental focus areas.
