As Canada’s only national organic charity, COG is an important voice for Canadians. We provide many benefits to organic growers and consumers, including children and elders. In fact, COG is proud to support more than 30 school gardens and champions “Growing Up Organic” across Canada, because the future of organic food is rooted with our children and grandchildren. COG is Canada’s organic hub. We connect communities across the nation and provide a platform from which to share information and knowledge. Our free lending library is Canada’s largest library on organic agriculture; our land-matching program, Landshare Canada, connects growers who need land with those who have it; and the Canadian Organic Grower Magazine, is a one of a kind publication that’s produced almost entirely by volunteers. Your generosity also helps strengthen our voice so we can speak out about GMOs and dangerous pesticides. Please support COG's important work today so that we can have a tomorrow!

Zoocheck Canada is a national animal protection charity established in 1984 to promote and protect the wellbeing of wild animals. We are the only Canadian organization with a specific focus on captive wild animal issues. Thousands of animals are held captive in zoos, aquariums and private menageries and many more are brought into the country by circuses, traveling shows and entertainment companies. Thousands of exotic species, many caught in the wild, are imported into Canada, joining the thousands of animals already bought and sold in the exotic pet trade. The laws prohibiting the exploitation and abuse of these animals are weak and poorly enforced in many parts of Canada. Over the years, Zoocheck's campaigns have resulted in the closure of some of Canada's worst zoos; the cancellation of plans to construct new zoos and aquariums; improved husbandry conditions; new or improved bylaws; a greater awareness of wildlife issues; and support for projects that protect animals in the wild.

Canada’s oldest scientific society, Royal Canadian Institute for the advancement of science (RCI) is a registered charity that has been delivering programs and events to enhance the public’s understanding of science since 1849. Founded by a small group of civil engineers, architects and surveyors led by Sir Sandford Fleming, the RCI presents world-class scientists who volunteer their time to explain, in terms accessible to the public, the complex scientific work they are pursuing. The RCI’s annual series of free, public lectures attracts a diverse audience – high school students, the business community, professional scientists, the general public. From nanoscale bioengineering to new knowledge about the earliest moments of our universe, the RCI provides a unique glimpse into the frontiers of scientific research. Each lecture is followed by refreshments and informal discussions with the speaker. To reach a wider audience the lectures are webcast and appear on our website.
