Who controls this corporation. Federal corporations must file their Individuals with Significant Control with Corporations Canada. That register is not redistributed here — it can only be searched by corporation name or number, by design, so it cannot become a lookup by a person’s name.

Filed by the charity itself with the Canada Revenue Agency, under the Open Government Licence. This is the narrowest slate the source publishes — name, position, and tenure only; no address, phone, or email exists in the file to withhold. Why this is published and directors’ home addresses never are.
Public money on record
Federal grants and contributions
$4,287,043
across 18 agreements, 2018–2025
| Paying institution | Awards | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian Heritage | 10 | $4,234,503 |
| Employment and Social Development Canada | 8 | $52,540 |
Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.
Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

Why this is one record

An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.
