Recognition
As a lifelong learning community, we value the importance of recognizing those who promote lifelong learning in the workplace. If you know of a deserving company or organization, we invite you to nominate them for the Award for Excellent Learning in the Workplace.
Gifting of Learning Program
The Gifting of Learning is a fundraising campaign program in which a Gifted Learner is matched with Gifting Heroes (donors) who will financially contribute towards the Learner's lifelong learning program.
In return, Gifting Heroes receive charitable tax receipts ($25+) for their support of lifelong learning for Canadians.

Why Lifelong Learning?
Pursue a Passion
Passionately interested in a topic? Education provides individuals space to immerse themselves in information about topics that interest them.
Be Happier
"It's actually a core need for psychological well-being. Learning can help us build confidence and a sense of self-efficacy," Vanessa King, positive psychology expert at Action for Happiness.
Form New Brain Connections
Form New Brain Connections
Learning a new skill creates new connections in the brain. More connections = larger brain volume and greater cognitive reserve. Learning a new skill can ward off the detrimental affects of aging on the brain.
Be Healthier
Form New Brain Connections
Numerous studies have shown a link between higher education and positive health and wellness.
Employability
The average person changes jobs 10 - 15 times during their careers. Developing adaptable and transferable skills is important to making those leaps.
A Skilled Workforce
"Technological change demands stronger and more continues connections between education and employment" - The Economist
