Description: The Trans Canada Trail - Sentier transcanadien leads an initiative, based on widespread voluntary support, to establish a national recreational trail that runs through every Canadian province and territory, linking hundreds of communities. The federal grant for this project was used solely to establish a fund to achieve the following objectives: to administer a program of grants to community-based groups in support of trail-building capital projects (thereby leveraging additional support from other sources); to provide planning for and coordinate development of the Trail; and to establish Trail Pavilions and signage along the route.

The Trail will connect Canadians from all regions of the country with each other, their environment, and Canada's cultural and natural diversity.

Description: The National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation (NAAF) is a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds to deliver programs that provide the tools necessary for Aboriginal peoples, especially youth to achieve their potential. The NAAF promotes the development and education of Aboriginal peoples and their professional advancement in Canadian society through the implementation of such initiatives as the Blueprint for the Future, Post-Secondary Education Program, the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards and Taking Pulse. Overall, the Foundation's programs are made possible through the support of the federal government, corporate sponsors, charitable foundations and individual donors.

The Foundation's core focus continues to be providing scholarships for Aboriginal students. NAAF is the largest supporter of Aboriginal education outside the federal government. In 2003-04, Canadian Heritage provided a $12 million endowment for the establishment of an Aboriginal Post-Secondary Scholarship Program. An additional endowment of $10 million was approved in March 2007. Investment revenues of the endowment are used to award scholarships and bursaries to Aboriginal post-secondary students across Canada.

This Endowment Fund encourages higher levels of achievement in education to help Aboriginal Canadians gain the skills and learning needed to fully contribute to the economic life of their communities and Canadian society.

Summary of annual plans of recipient:

The NAAF is a nationally registered non-profit organization devoted to excellence and to providing the tools necessary for Aboriginal youth to achieve brighter futures. NAAF encourages and empowers Aboriginal youth by providing important career planning information, by connecting youth with industry and by providing financial support for post-secondary studies in all disciplines.

The National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation's mission, working in partnership with Aboriginal, private and public sector stakeholders, is to promote, support and celebrate the achievement of Canada's Aboriginal Peoples.

Scholarships and Youth Initiatives

Scholarships and youth initiatives include the NAAF's Blueprint for the Future (BFF) activities-scholarships and bursaries awarded through the Education Program. The BFF is a series of one-day career fairs that provide Aboriginal high-school students valuable resources and information on career opportunities while promoting education as significant to labour market participation. Events are held across the country.

By motivating and encouraging youth to stay in school through NAAF's Blueprint for the Future Career Fairs NAAF connects students with business and public sector leaders through its national career fair which features role models, workshops, and engaging presentations on employment opportunities. Over its 14-year history 33,000 students have participated in Blueprint Career Fairs nationwide from Halifax and Vancouver, Yellowknife and Whitehorse to Saskatoon, Thunder Bay and Ottawa. This unique and dynamic opportunity has proven time and again its ability to get youth one step closer to fulfilling their dreams.

 - In fiscal year 2010-11: Prince George, BC and Edmonton, AB

The NAAF's Education Program encompasses the Post-Secondary Scholarship Program, which disburses approximately $2 million a year to First Nations, Inuit and Métis students across Canada. NAAF scholarships cover three categories: Fine Arts and Cultural Projects; Health Careers; and Post-Secondary Education.

The NAAF will support post-secondary studies that are a minimum of two academic years at an accredited university, college or CEGEP for the pursuit of a certificate, diploma or degree. An exception is made for one-year upgrading or certification programs after the completion of a Bachelor's Degree, or specialization certificates of one year if an applicant has an existing diploma or degree. Study outside of Canada is eligible for jury consideration when the student is enrolled in graduate studies toward Master's or PhD degrees.

The NAAF monitors and tracks students who receive bursary and scholarship awards. On an annual basis, students are asked to complete questionnaires regarding their current studies and future plans. A final report is prepared annually.

Start date: 2001-02

End date: Perpetual

Description: Thanks to an endowment funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities (CILRM) was created in March 2002 for the purpose of becoming a national centre of expertise to better understand the challenges that official language minority communities face and the trends in their environment.

More and improved research will ensure that leaders of minority-language communities and officials responsible for developing public policy will have a better understanding of the issues that affect the development of Canada's Francophone and Anglophone minority communities.

End date: Perpetual

Description: In accordance with a Multi-Party Agreement (MPA), the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia each contributed $55 million to the Legacy Endowment Fund, which is managed by the 2010 Games Operating Trust. The Legacy Endowment Fund supports the maintenance and operating expenses of specific 2010 Winter Games sporting venues and charitable and not-for-profit organizations managing high-performance amateur sport and coach development programming at those venues and elsewhere in Canada. The three legacy facilities receiving the funds are the Richmond Oval (Richmond, BC), Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Sliding Centre (Resort Municipality of Whistler, BC). This commitment by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia ensures that Canadians will continue to use the venues and benefit from sport programming well beyond 2010 (http://www.vancouver2010.com).

The Board of Directors of the 2010 Games Operating Trust Society (the Society) consists of eight representatives from the signatories to the MPA (Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games [VANOC], the City of Vancouver, the City of Richmond, and the Resort Municipality of Whistler). The Society will oversee and manage this Trust until an agreed-upon future date or until the end of the Monarchy.

Beyond maintaining and operating the three principle venues, the Society will provide the needed funding to continue high-performance programming for Canadian athletes at these venues and elsewhere in Canada.
