Ontario: Ontario Trillium Foundation, Eric Hoskins

CanadaImmigrants.com Ontario Desk - Ontario is working with the not for profit sector to better support organizations that help Ontarians maintain a high quality of life. The province will develop a comprehensive and long term strategic action plan for its partnership with the not for profit sector. This initiative will be a first of a kind approach for Ontario and will lead to recommendations to support the not for profit sector. In collaboration with the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the government will conduct a series of discussions with the not for profit, private and public sectors on how to make government more responsive to not for profit and volunteer organizations. This will help inform new ways to strengthen the sector, as part of the province's five year Open Ontario plan. Led by Ontario Citizenship and Immigration Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins and Ontario Trillium Foundation Chair Helen Burstyn, the province wide discussions will include: Reviewing the structural and legislative framework within which Ontario's not for profit sector operates. Exploring how to better coordinate the government's approach to the sector. Researching models of government not for profit sector partnerships in other jurisdictions. A report outlining the research results and offering concrete recommendations will be completed in Winter 2010. As reported in the news.
