The Canadian Paediatric Foundation (CPF) was established in 1985 as a charitable organization to help the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) fulfill its mission. Funds raised helped the CPS develop health information for Canadian families, provide education for those caring for children and youth and support advocacy on child health issues. Much has changed since the CPF was founded in 1985. What is unchanged however is our commitment to the health and well-being of children and youth in Canada and abroad. In 2005, the foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary. Part of that celebration included a new name and identity: Healthy Generations: Building a Future for Children and Youth.

Cardus is a think tank focusing on critical, long-term social needs. We are part of the North American "ideas business": making and marketing ideas, shaping public policy much like teachers shape their students. Cardus' research reflects on, and works to integrate into many spheres, the broad wisdom of the biblical narrative of brokenness and restoration--emphasizing respect for human diversity, the sacredness of life, the purpose of history, and the responsible use of resources. Non-partisan and widely connected, Cardus is uniquely suited to lead communities through meaningful conversations on the ideas that define us. By forming valuable and practical policy packages, and communicating them ingenuously and persistently, Cardus is changing the landscape of public discussion.

The school has been serving the Canadian Reformed community in southern Ontario since 1977. As a Christian private school, Guido de Brès does not receive any government funding and is financially supported through tuition payments and through many donors who believe in the importance of Reformed education. The school is named after Guido de Brès, a preacher of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands who died as a martyr to the faith in the year 1567.

A statement from article 12 of this Confession inscribed in the wooden plaque in the front lobby summarizes our school's vision: " ...to the end that man may serve his God".
