Welcome to LEAD Canada's website

LEAD Canada is a not-for-profit corporation, dedicated to furthering the goals of environmental, social and economic sustainability through training, projects and networking.  Created in 1994, LEAD Canada joined the global network set up by LEAD International, which was originally funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.  One of 13 member programs, LEAD Canada is comprised of about 90 of the 1800 LEAD Fellows living and working around the world.  

The LEAD network, which was built over many years through its leadership training program, is made up of professionals from many backgrounds, including scientists, medical doctors, environmentalists, engineers, lawyers, economists, journalists, business and cultural specialists.

At that time, Cohort 12 participants began their 20-day leadership training program, which includes sessions in Canada and a five-day international component with participants from the other 12 member programs. Training for Cohorts 13 and 14 are also now underway.  LEAD Canada will be soliciting applications for it sCohort 15 training program in the early part of 2009 - so check back for updates.
