Which Canadian Charities Received the Most Revenue from the Canadian Federal Government in 2014? www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Which Canadian charities received the most revenue from the Canadian Federal government in 2014? By Mark Blumberg (March 23, 2016) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2014. It covers about 84,370 of the 86,000 registered charities that have so far filed their return and that have been entered into the CRA’s database. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 their revenue from the Federal government. The total revenue from the Federal government of all the 84,370 registered charities was about $6,801,372,643.00. Below we have a table of Canadian charities and their revenue from federal government as reported for the 2014 fiscal year. Thank you to Celeste Bonas, an intern at Blumbergs, for helping with this project. The Sean Blumberg Transparency Project is in memory of my youngest brother Sean Blumberg. Sean was a sweet, kind person, a great brother who helped me on a number of occasions with many tasks including the time consuming and arduous task of reviewing T3010 databases and making them into something useful. As part of the Sean Blumberg Transparency Project, Blumbergs has been releasing information on the Canadian charity sector to provide a better understanding of the size, scope, complexity and challenges of the sector. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information. 1 www.canadiancharitylaw.ca List of Canadian charities which received the most revenue from the Canadian Federal government in 2014 Name of the Canadian registered charity Line 4540 1.

The event was led by Dr. Jill Biden, who has been a community college professor for 17 years. Among the highlights: • The administration has announced a new partnership called “Skills for America’s Future.” It’s designed to change the way business and labor leaders connect to community colleges. • President Obama has set a goal for America to once again lead the world in producing college graduates by 2020. That includes an additional 5 million community college degrees and certificates in the next 10 years. • The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are launching the “Completion by Design” program. Investing $35 million over five years, the program hopes In a phrase that has special meaning at Clark College, two of the speakers— to dramatically improve graduation rates at community colleges.

  • Exploring the Potential for Native Language Revitalization in an Urban Context: Language Education in Vancouver
    EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL FOR NATIVE LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION IN AN URBAN CONTEXT: LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN VANCOUVER by NATALIE JEAN-KEISER BALOY A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2008 © Natalie Jean-Keiser Baloy, 2008 ABSTRACT This research explores dynamics around Aboriginal language learning and use in Vancouver, British Columbia. With many different First Nations and Aboriginal languages represented in the city, urban Aboriginal language revitalization is complex and challenging. Sixteen research participants talked with me about competing priorities for urban Aboriginal individuals and families, the linguistic diversity of the British Columbia First Nations, and how demographic urbanization of Aboriginal peoples intersects with movements of language revitalization. The resulting analysis highlights some emerging language ideologies connected to urban Aboriginal language use and learning. Language ideologies have been defined as “the cultural system of ideas about social and linguistic relationships, together with their loading of moral and political interests” (Irvine, cited in Kroskrity 2000:5). By identifying some commonalities in research participants’ attitudes around Aboriginal languages in the city, I argue that ‘placing language’ and ‘finding a place for language’ are critical issues for looking at Aboriginal language use and learning in Vancouver. By ‘placing language’, I mean that participants stressed the locality of Aboriginal languages, drawing important connections between land and language. Many honoured local languages by stating that their use and preservation should be top priorities in urban-specific language revitalization initiatives. They also recognized that other Native languages are represented in the city and could be fostered by collaboration with home communities, including reserve language programs.

  • NAISA Tenth Annual Meeting, May 17-19, 2018 Program 'Aweeshkore Xaa, 'Ekwaa'a Xaa (We Are Happy You Are Here)
    NAISA Tenth Annual Meeting, May 17-19, 2018 Program 'Aweeshkore xaa, 'ekwaa'a xaa (We are happy you are here) The American Indian Studies Center at University of California, Los Angeles and its Southern California co-hosts welcome NAISA, the largest scholarly organization devoted to Indigenous issues and research, to Yaanga (Downtown Los Angeles area) on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Gabrieliño/Tongva. Los Angeles is home to the largest Indigenous populations in the US. It is our aim to highlight the incredibly rich landscape of Indigenous Los Angeles at NAISA 2018. Our meeting is set in downtown on what used to be the villages of Yaanga before Tongva dispossession. As the city grew, so did Indigenous populations in Los Angeles. Many American Indians, Latin American Indigenous peoples, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians have come to the rich land of the Gabrieliño/Tongva for a variety of reasons, whether it was from following the rich trade of sea otters, fishing or whaling, or being driven from their homes by the economic tyranny of federal Indian policy, or fleeing persecution of the Mexican government against Indigenous peoples. Many from the Pacific and Global South would follow and make Los Angeles their home. To learn more about the history of Tongva land and how these communities have made their home in LA, we invite you to visit Mapping Indigenous LA’s website where you will find storymaps and more information: https://mila.ss.ucla.edu. Extending out from LA and into the Southern California region, there are nineteen federally recognized tribes and hundreds more.

    ABORIGINAL CONTROLLED POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS IN CANADA: THE STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION Presented at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Education Graduate Student Symposium March 1, 2013 Submitted by: Kim Browning Doctoral Student Faculty of Education University of Manitoba 2 Introduction For many years, the voices of Aboriginal1 people have been silenced due to an educational system that was thrust upon them by Euro-centric proponents in their zeal to assimilate the Indigenous people of North America. This silence was the result of many factors such as government policies and Indian agents; residential schools and missionaries; community reserve schools and non-Native teachers; and Native teachers educated in the Euro-western system with a specific mandate for education. Aboriginal peoples were marginalized and disenfranchised while exposed to education under the auspices of the Indian Act where the federal government assumed complete control of Aboriginal children and their schooling (Antone, 2000; Curwen-Doige, 2003). In this paper, I address the topic of Aboriginal-controlled post-secondary institutions by beginning with a review of the history of Aboriginal people and education, including the oppression of Euro-centrism, the residential school system, assimilationism, related to the loss of Indigenous knowledge, cultural traditions and languages. The concept of decolonization of education or an unravelling of the long history of racism and oppressive colonial policies is discussed as a process for recovery and renewal, as are the events leading up to the call for Aboriginal control of education – the jurisdictional debate, a growing Aboriginal population and a widening gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educational outcomes.
