For over 65 years The Alberta Safety Council (ASC) has been a leader in ‘Making Alberta a Safer Place to Live, Work and Play,’ by offering the most current, cutting edge safety training services, educational materials and safety support to communities across Alberta. Since our inception, we estimate that over 1 million Albertans have been touched by one of our programs. As a self-sustaining charitable organization, the ASC relies on the revenue generated through our programs, services, memberships, as well as the donations and goodwill support from volunteers, individuals, corporations and community partners. But safety comes at a price. Each year, the ASC must turn away thousands seeking safety training and education due to lack of available training space. We must expand our programs and services or run the risk of injury. With your support and a donation, you can ensure that all Albertans stay safe by receiving the necessary training and education to do just that.

October 29, 2011, TELUS Spark, the new Science Centre, opened near the intersection of Deerfoot Trail and Memorial Drive. TELUS Spark is Canada’s first purpose-built science centre in over 25 years. It is a different kind of science centre – a true resource for all Calgarians that will help define our city as the innovation and imagination capital of Canada. No other attraction in Canada offers the kinds of experiences in self- discovery available every day at the new TELUS Spark.

We provide programs and services designed to increase the accessibility of the arts for residents of Etobicoke (West Toronto), reach and involve special and diverse audiences, create broad community awareness of local arts organizations and artists and develop partnerships and networks to foster and sustain local arts activities.

Operating funding for Arts Etobicoke comes from the City of Toronto and the Ontario Arts Council. Because this funding accounts for approximately 25% of our total income, fundraising is vital to our ongoing operations. The balance is raised through program revenues, memberships, foundations, corporate sponsorships, donations and fundraising.
