Common Good.
From the President & CEO
Tides Canada is charting a course of action to accelerate positive change
and achieve greater impact.
We have a history of milestones and lessons learned from achievements like
coordinating the landmark financing for the Great Bear Rainforest agreements
and building a unique shared platform to power social change initiatives
across the country. With the experience, knowledge, and relationships we
have built over the past 15 years, we are, today, in a unique position to tackle
complex existing and emerging environmental and social challenges in
Canada.
Even as we hold a long-range view to effecting change, we know that the
right wheels need to be set in motion early on. This starts with building
relationships of trust with the communities, donors, and stakeholders
with whom we work across the country. It also means cultivating new
partnerships and exploring new opportunities for collaboration. This past year, we were proud to
partner in:
• The creation of the Ontario Indigenous Youth Partnership Project, supporting the engagement of
indigenous youth through activities that promote environmental and social well-being;
• The development of a pilot project with the Government of the Northwest Territories and other
local stakeholders, using funder collaboratives as a model for on-the-land programming to benefit
communities; and
• An initiative to lead research and help Canadian charities align investment with mission using the
Social Venture Connexion (SVX) platform, part of an international collaboration with MaRS Centre for
Impact Investing and the governments of Ontario and California.
We want to maximize social value from every charitable dollar by championing new and creative impact
investing opportunities. We introduced ChangeCapital, an innovative approach to philanthropy that
generates both financial return and social good. Our shared platform remains a unique offering in the
charitable sector, amplifying the work of our social change projects on the ground. Last year, we
welcomed Dene Nahjo, Northern Youth Leadership, BC Food Systems Network, IndigenEYEZ, and Slave
River Coalition to our shared platform.
New members joined our leadership team—Peter MacLeod to our Board of Directors, and Elissa Beckett,
Vice President, Development and Strategic Initiatives, and Anne Marie Johnston, Vice President,
Information Systems and Communications, to our Executive Team. We also expressed our gratitude to
three founding Board Members who stepped down in 2014: Alan Broadbent, Drummond Pike, and
Joel Solomon.
At Tides Canada, we’re working every day to build a better future for Canadians. You’ve helped us get this
far. Your continued support has never been more important. Thank you for your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Ross McMillan
President & CEO
