National Program

On a national level we take a long-term view to violence prevention through our partnership with the Canadian Women’s Foundation and with our sponsorship of The Fourth R Program.

Canadian Women’s Foundation

Funds we donate to the Canadian Women’s Foundation are used for grants that lead to long-term systemic change that assist women’s groups with economic development and violence prevention.

The Fourth R

The Fourth R is a grade-nine school program for preventing dating violence, substance abuse, and risky sexual practices. The contention of the Fourth R is that relationships skills can be taught in the same way as reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Fourth R is proving to be successful in engaging budding teenagers to make healthy choices and to relate to each other in a positive way.

The Fourth R was launched in Alberta and Saskatchewan in Fall 2005.

Planned rollout across Canada:

1. British Columbia and Manitoba in 2006
2. Ontario in 2006
3. Atlantic Region in 2007
4. Quebec in 2008
