Kingston WritersFest is a four-day readers' and writers' festival featuring more than 60 top Canadian and international authors in 45 events – readings, onstage conversations, performances, and Writers Studio master classes for emerging and established writers. Among our author alumni are Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee, Paul Auster, Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, Joseph Boyden, Roméo Dallaire, Jane Urquhart, Anita Rau Badami, Richard Gwyn, and Lawrence Martin. We promote literacy in the schools through a Think You Can Write contest; Festival Field Trips, which bring high-school students to special youth events; and Authors@School, which takes writers into elementary schools. We collaborate with Queen’s University in the Queen's Common Reader program, and offer all students free rush seats to onstage events.

All schools teach from a worldview, whether explicitly or tacitly, which helps define life's meaning and purpose. At Master's we teach from a Judea Christian perspective. All areas of curriculum at Master's are developed from this premise with instruction and guidance given from a Christian perspective. Since 1997, Master's Academy and College has been developing its 21st century learning model called, Profound Learning™. The Profound Learning™ model, with its signature of innovation and creativity, elevates the academic performance of all students while simultaneously preparing them to be FUTURE READY. Today, Master's Profound Learning™ model is a reality – students become researchers, engineers and designers of the future by engaging in learning experiences designed to cultivate FUTURE READY skills.

The regular artistic season of La Troupe du Jour includes two shows produced by the company and two other visiting shows from other theatrical companies. La Troupe du Jour offers as well other activities related to the preparation of future plays (public readings, experimental theatre, etc.). La Troupe du Jour facilitates a Writers' circle that gives the chance to writers to exchange ideas and offers dramaturgical development. This Writers' circle aims at developping three different plays over a three year period and at different stages allowing a rotation of plays written and produced locally. Another goal pursued by La Troupe du Jour is to offer theatrical workshops to schools and community members all across Saskatchewan. La Troupe du Jour actively participates to developmental workshops for actors and professionals from all trades related to theatre.

BCF fosters cooperation and goodwill between Bhutan and Canada in several ways: Our main program is a teacher program, in which we work with the Ministry of Education in Bhutan to send qualified teachers to teach in public schools in some of the most rural parts of the country. Since January 2010, BCF has sent a total of 69 teachers to 39 different communities across Bhutan. These teachers have directly impacted the lives of over 10,800 Bhutanese students. We also offer scholarships for Bhutanese youth to complete secondary education in Canada. Finally, as one of the only North American organizations with a permanent presence in Bhutan, we serve as a cultural liaison for many visitors to the country.

Northern Environment Action Team (NEAT) is a grassroots, not-for-profit organization. Since 1989, NEAT has focused on increasing awareness of resource conservation, waste reduction and other urban environmental issues through educational programming, special events and other programs. NEAT’s philosophy is that simple, practical actions will lead to significant reduction in our personal environmental impact. NEAT has found that initiatives which promote change to a more environmentally responsible attitude are most effective when implemented at the community level and involve direct contact with people. NEAT believes that outreach programs will ultimately foster lifestyle changes in the community that will ensure the continuation of these positive actions and entrench them as accepted attitudes. NEAT is an award-winning organization and enjoys strong community support demonstrated by public participation and political support for its environmental educational initiatives.
