History of the Canadian Learning Trust
The Canadian Learning Trust was created in 1998 by the Canadian Link to Lifelong Learning, an Edmonton, Alberta-based organization that championed lifelong learning in Canada through a variety of promotional activities. The Canadian Learning Trust was originally created to issue charitable tax receipts for donations, and was based upon the beliefs that:
- Lifelong learning has a positive impact on the quality of life of an individual, a family, an organization, and a community;
- Lack of money is often a barrier to learners; and
- Through support of learners and learning providers, learning can be positively influenced.
Our Funding
Our work is funded through a combination of private and corporate donations, administrative fees, and government grants.
