The Friends of Point Pelee are a co-operating association with Point Pelee National Park in Leamington Ontario Canada. We were formed to provide services, resources and support for research, education and ecological integrity preservation in and around the park. We operate a number of visitor services inside the park, such as the Nature Nook (the store in the Visitor Centre), the canoe & bicycle rentals and the Cattail Cafe (at the Marsh Boardwalk). We also operate the transit system that shuttles visitors from the Visitor Centre to the Tip. The proceeds from sales and services support our operations as well as the Parks Canada Mandate and Point Pelee National Park initiatives.

Guido de Brès serves the Canadian Reformed churches as a high school with its basis in the Word of God as confessed in the Reformed confessions. 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. He was the chief author of the Belgic Confession, one of the doctrinal standards of the Reformed Churches. 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".
