True
North Foundation offers ongoing multiple programs in the Greater
Toronto area to encourage the linkage between community, culture,
and service. These programs are designed to engage the interaction
between generations in a context that is not only positive and
mind-expanding, but also in a spirit of sharing and giving back to
society at large. Based on this philosophy, our programs are viewed
as a bridge to building local culture and sense of identity in
Canada.
Our non-profit activities include: The Boreal Orchestra - a
volunteer community-based musical ensemble based, in part, on the
idea of the north as expressed through a wide range of Canadian and
international repertoire; Seniors Outreach Program that extends the
services of the Boreal Orchestra into seniors residences through the
Greater Toronto area as part of serving society and offering quality
musical programs for those unable to attend regular concerts
Education Program for high school and university participants,
designed to offer personal coaching within an orchestral ensemble ,
while building musicianship and organizational skills Arts Showcase
for the community, including individual artists and musicians as
well as regular arts performance or exhibiting groups or galleries
Cultural Evenings held once a month at our office in Central
Toronto. These presentations offer a seminar-like setting for
discussion on a wide range of topics in music, art, design,
architecture, landscape, and the environment with reference to our
quality of living. |
