Cancellation of 2009/2010 fellowship year

23 February, 2009 – The Board of Directors regrets to announce that due to funding uncertainty in the current economic environment, Action Canada will not be able to offer a 2009/2010 fellowship year. The Board and Founding CEO are committed to working towards a longer term future for this important leadership building initiative for Canada.

We sincerely thank those who have stood as candidates and those who generously supported nominees this year. We also thank the many Canadians, coast to coast to coast, who have been an important part of the success of Action Canada in its first mandate.

We hope the program is offered in 2010/2011 so that our network of 86 outstanding Fellows continues to grow and work to make Canada the best it can be.
