About the Foundation

If you were asked to name two great leaders of Canadian Socialism, it is likely that Tommy Douglas and M.J. Coldwell would come to mind. Their life-long contributions to social democracy in Canada and around the globe are well celebrated.

One dream they shared was to create a Canadian equivalent to Britain's Fabian Society, an independent left-wing group unobligated to any other organization or political party.

In 1971 this dream became a reality with the establishment of the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation with Tommy Douglas as it's founding President. In the words of Tommy Douglas, the Foundation would be "a gadfly to provoke discussionto keep the movements on the left-whether the co-operative movement, the trade union movement or the political movement- from getting in a rut."

In 1987, our numbers were strengthened through a merger with Toronto's Ontario Woodsworth Memorial Foundation.

The Douglas-Coldwell Foundation is a registered charity. All donations will be tax receipted.
