We are committed to the greatest of Canada’s natural resources: our youth.

We work to identify and support talented students who show promise of leadership and a strong commitment to service in the community.

We fund these citizens to study on Canadian campuses, to the benefit of their future and ours.

mission

The W. Garfield Weston Foundation is a proud supporter of the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation. I believe that what we as individuals and as a society spend on the development of innovative, educated, well-rounded citizens is probably the best investment we can make. W. Galen Weston, O.C.


THE LORAN AWARD

We look for values in our beneficiaries that a transcript alone cannot show: firm commitment to character, service and leadership; breadth in academic and extra-curricular interests; entrepreneurship; strongly developed inner-directedness; a high level of personal autonomy; and integrity.

We provide Loran scholars with a renewable award comprising an $8,000 living stipend matched by a tuition waiver from a partner university. We grant 30 such awards annually, 15 of which are underwritten by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. We also grant approximately 80 one-time entrance awards.

Loran Awards include mentoring and a summer program. We pair each Loran scholar with a mentor who challenges, advises and encourages the scholar. Each university assigns a staff member as a resource, and the scholars support each other through their own organization, the Loran Scholars’ Association. We also provide grants up to $7,500 for three types of scholar-initiated summer experiences. Incoming scholars participate in a five-day orientation expedition in Algonquin Park before they begin university and all scholars are invited to an annual four-day national scholars’ retreat. We expect scholars to use these opportunities to broaden and enrich their academic studies.

We welcome Loran scholars into an extended family of volunteers, donors, staff, and past and present fellow scholars. We know the value of these relationships and take care to nurture them.


Our focus on character, service and leadership potential requires a thorough and rigorous selection process. Starting with the staff in high schools and CEGEPs who nominate their most promising candi-dates, our process combines assessment of written applications with one-on-one and panel interviews by committees of local and national community leaders. As a key pillar of our work, our selection process is a focus of our strategic plan for the next three years. We thank the several hundred volunteers throughout Canada who are involved.

Thanks to a unique partnership with Canada’s leading universities, we are able to leverage the private donations we receive to invest significantly in each scholar. A living stipend of $8,000 matched by a tuition waiver from a partner university provides a measure of financial independence and freedom to pursue opportunities. To our 24 partner universities, now including the University of Victoria, thank you for your continued trust and investment.

We seek out donors who believe in the long-term returns of providing well-rounded Canadian students with opportunities here in Canada to develop their leadership potential. We are fortunate to have the support of 282 companies, foundations and individu-als. Our principal supporter, The W. Garfield Weston Foundation, has underwritten 15 new W. Garfield Weston Loran Awards annually since 1998 – an out-standing cumulative investment in Canada’s future by one of our country’s most successful business families.

LETTER FROM THE CEO & CHAIR

James AppleyardChair

Franca Gucciardi (Loran ‘90)Executive Director & CEO


We encourage scholars to resist the temptation to take easy or conventional paths and to seek out, instead, how they can most effectively contribute to society. To this end, we provide funding for summer internships and pair scholars with mentors who will challenge them and introduce them to their new community. We also bring scholars together for national retreats and fora and provide an online space for past and present scholars, www.loranscholar.ca.

The introduction of a five-day orientation wilderness trip in Algonquin Park for the incoming class of scholars succeeded in forging strong relationships between the scholars. Led by Outward Bound and made possible by a multi-year pledge of $500,000 from Nancy & Bob Young, the expedition focused on leadership, teamwork, and environmental stewardship. With some improvements to the pro-gramming, we plan to continue it next year.

New this year, past scholars organized an alumni weekend at University of Toronto. Funded and planned by past scholars, the weekend theme was “What leadership for Canada’s future?” The event featured panel discussions on entrepre-neurship, Canada’s role in the world, health policy, culture in cities and higher education. Alumni plan to organize such an event every two years.

We continue to grow our senior fellows program. Veteran volunteers in Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax, each of whom embody our values and know our history, have joined founding trustees Bob Cluett and Kim Echlin as senior fellows. Annually, fellows host a dinner for scholars and their mentors. These gatherings are proving to be very effective in strengthening the network of volunteers and supporters throughout the country.

Thank you to the volunteers and donors throughout Canada who have made it possible to invest more than $19 million in 1,900 young Canadians, more than 400 of whom are past or present Loran scholars. Our work would not be possible without your support.

Sincerely,

Franca & James


ALUMNI WEEKEND

The track-record of our scholars is excellent. Ninety-three per cent graduate in good standing, not just academically but in terms of their leadership and service on- and off-campus. More than 80% pursue graduate studies, many as tenants of major scholarships. Notably, 12 Loran scholars have been selected as Rhodes scholars, the most recent of whom is Aneil Jaswal (W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar ’07), who studied at UBC.

Although only 40% of Loran scholars are over the age of 30, they are shouldering leadership responsibilities beyond their years. They include the director of the clinical teaching unit at McGill University Health Centre, a chief of staff to a former Prime Minister, the CEO of Redknee, several clerks at the Supreme Court of Canada, the director of policy for a Minister of Finance, entrepreneurs in dance, food services, financial services and photography, several teachers and professors, an executive director at Goldman Sachs, two economists at the World Bank, the CFO of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and a pharmacist who owns and operates two franchises in Vancouver.

Our alumni are also active as volunteers, serving on the boards of the Franco-Ontarian festival, Volunteer Canada, Mount Sinai Hospital, Girl Guides of Canada and the General Council of the United Church of Canada; providing emergency medical relief in Haiti; co-founding a camp for kids of families coping with chronic illnesses in PEI; and co-chairing a Manitoba Agricultural Museum committee that built a 77-foot plow, the world’s largest.

We are encouraged by how committed alumni are to our ongoing work: 93% say they feel a sense of commitment and loyalty to CMSF and the same percentage intend to contribute as donors and as volunteers. More than two-thirds of the alumni have already made a donation in support of our work.

In September 2009, the Connexion alumni weekend brought together the network of past scholars for two days of social gatherings and panel discussions. Past scholars reconnected with old friends and grappled with a modern version of the question that gave rise to the Loran Awards: What leadership for Canada’s future?

A team of alumni assembled six panels of speakers to explore this central question. Leading thinkers and practitioners, such as entrepreneur Bob Young, author Richard Florida, public commentator Rudyard Griffiths and women’s health advocate Abby Lippman, engaged past scholars in stimulating and grounded debates about where we can go as a country, and how Loran scholars can contribute to those ends. Past scholars have resolved to organize an alumni weekend every two years.


PROFILE : JOËL THIBERT

Joël Thibert (2000 W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar) remembers clearly feeling inspired at national interviews. “Just attending the interviews encouraged me to become more like myself,” he recalls, “and to pursue the things that I believed in.” He was also struck by how varied the other candidates were in their interests, backgrounds, and ambitions.

Joël’s own path led him to a position as a project manager for Montreal’s Quartier international de Montréal, a non-profit organization that manages urban revitaliza-tion projects. Joël has a long-standing interest in urban planning: he did his Master’s degree in the field at McGill University and he worked as a research intern, on the issue of affordable housing, for Canadian Policy Research Networks. At CPRN, he got hands-on exposure to the field by visiting developments and meeting with devel-opers and consultants. “It was,” he says, “a very good way to bridge the theory I had learnt in school with the practice of social housing.”

Joël also put theory into practice between his undergraduate studies and grad school while living in South America. With an interest in the culture and a desire to live in a big city, he moved to Bogota, Colombia, where he was in charge of designing an environmental education curriculum, which he then taught to Grade 7 and 8 students.

Teaching kids about the environment was a natural extension of his undergrad work at McGill. He had switched to the environmental program after originally pursuing international development studies. “The W. Garfield Weston Loran Award has allowed me, and in fact encouraged me, to forge my own path at a crucial time in my life. More specifically, scholars were made to feel that there is more than one way to succeed and to make a difference, so it was okay to be quirky, to change one’s mind and to re-chart one’s own course - regardless of what the ‘perceived’ social expectations might be,” he says.

Joël recently received a Trudeau Scholarship, worth up to $180,000, for his PhD studies in public policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs at Princeton University. Joël’s research focuses on the city as a player in sustainable development.

It was inspiring to enter a world where different paths are deemed possible. For the Loran Awards, there is not ‘one type’ of candidate who is interesting, but several. Joël Thibert

THE SELECTION PROCESS

Designed to identify young people of exceptional overall promise, our selection process is rigorous and thorough. We have established 27 regional committees and one central direct pool committee in 21 cities across Canada. More than 230 volun-teers are involved, from academe, business and the community.

Our awards are open to every graduating student who intends to enter a Canadian university. Our application materials are sent to more than 4,000 high schools and CEGEPs in Canada, and we encourage each school to select and nominate their best candidates. The nomination process reinforces our core values of character, service and leadership in the schools.

This year, our regional committees selected 340 semi-finalists for personal inter-views from an original pool of approximately 3,300 applicants. The top 74 candidates were invited to Toronto for a final selection weekend in February, where our six national committees and two national co-chairs selected our 30 newest Loran scholars, 15 of whom are funded by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. We also distributed 35 finalist awards ($3,000 ea.), 34 provincial awards ($2,000 ea.) and recognized students with honour citations (27) and semi-finalist certificates (152).

Loran Awards are investments in the future, not rewards for past achievements. We expect that our 21st class of scholars will be productive members of their communities and that they will meet the high standards of character, service and leadership established by previous classes.

PROFILE : SUSAN SCACE

Susan Scace is one of our strongest supporters and volunteers, serving as an interviewer, mentor and director of the foundation. She brings tremendous knowledge of governance and higher education to our board, having served on the governing council of the University of Toronto for nine years and as vice-chair of the board of Trinity College. Mrs. Scace received an Arbor Award from the university for her out-standing volunteer leadership.

Actively involved in the community, Mrs. Scace serves on the board of Sunnybrook Hospital and is a past director of the National Ballet of Canada and North York General Hospital. She is president of the Henry White Kinnear Foundation, which recently funded a Scace Loran Award for Adam Hasham, a first-year scholar studying engi-neering. “The Loran Awards are crucial for Canada. They allow our best students to study here in Canada during their undergraduate years while providing them with the opportunities they need to grow and develop as leaders,” says Mrs. Scace.

Mrs. Scace, who graduated with a BA from Trinity College, is now mentoring Paulina Bogdanova, a first-year scholar at Trinity.

The emphasis CMSF places on interviewing the candidates is an essential part of its overall success. It gives interviewers both insight into the real motivations of each student and a chance to see directly just how outstanding these young people really are.

Susan Scace


UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP

CMSF’s partnership with leading Canadian universities distinguishes the Loran Award from all other scholarships in Canada. Our partner universities demonstrate their trust in our selection process by waiving tuition for Loran scholars, and they join us in stewarding scholars throughout their undergraduate studies by choosing a staff member who serves as an adviser on campus. Universities with a significant number of Loran scholars on campus also occasionally host receptions for past and present scholars, volunteers, mentors and supporters.

The Loran scholars who choose Mount Allison are top-notch. Hailing from every Maritime province and from as far away as Manitoba, they are bright, accomplished, passionate, well-rounded and eager to take on leadership responsibilities both on campus and in the community. We are confident that they will continue to live up to their significant potential for leadership after graduation.

m e n t o r i n gOur growing national network of donors, alumni and volunteers is one of our greatest assets. The one-on-one mentorship program now includes 110 mentors. Mentors commit to sharing their experiences and networks with the scholars and also act as role models and advisors. Senior fellows organized gatherings in Vancouver, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax, which brought together nearly 100 scholars and mentors.

The summer program is meant to enrich the undergraduate experience for our scholars by encouraging constructive use of summers. Scholars have access to up to $7,500 and extensive networks to create three different summer internships. Staff work with scholars to develop objectives for each summer and also steward ongoing relationships with organizations that provide outstanding internship opportunities.

1. An enterprise internship: scholars develop skills in a business environment. Scholars learn about profit-making ventures and lead-ership in the business world. For example, 2009 Redknee Loran scholar Alison Lee (pictured top right) worked in Calgary for Carbon Engineering, a startup developing technology for industrial-scale carbon capture, and 2007 Loran scholar Jonathan Holmes (pictured middle right) worked for land-use planning firm ALCES Group in Calgary.

2. A public policy internship: scholars gain ex-perience with Canada’s policy-making process in its partisan or non-partisan forms. Whether they work for a government depart-ment, NGO or a political party, scholars are exposed to some of the people and institu-tions that influence public policy in Canada. For example, 2009 W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar Max Deschner interned at the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom and 2009 W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar Tanya Taggart-Hodge (pictured bottom right) worked for the climate change secretariat of the Government of Yukon.

3. An opportunity for personal and/or community development. In Canada or abroad, scholars work or volunteer on projects that take them outside of their academic and personal comfort zones. For example, 2008 W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar Catherine Gagné interned at Quillet Status of Women Council in Iqaluit, Nunavut, where she helped to organize a leadership summit.

PROFILE : ANEIL JASWAL

Aneil Jaswal (W. Garfield Weston Loran scholar ’07) used the summers between academic terms to complement and broaden his studies. “The summer program allowed me to enjoy opportunities that I may not have even dreamed of while still an undergraduate student. The focus on breadth of experience pushed me beyond the familiar to explore new ideas,” he says.

A fourth-year global resource systems student at University of British Columbia, Aneil’s academic interests expanded over the course of his undergraduate career from science to include health policy. On campus, he was captain of an elite level intramural basketball team, coordinated a student-directed seminar and served as co-president of a student advocacy group that brings attention to the atrocities occurring in Darfur. He also worked on a one-on-one level with a community member living with schizophrenia.

The summer after first year, Aneil worked for Social Capital Partners in Toronto, a leading-edge social finance organization, led by Bill Young, that works with businesses, in particular franchisors, to adopt social hiring practices. “I learned about the potential of social enterprise to change how we view and deal with poverty. This was definitely a novel approach for me,” says Aneil.

Interested in global health, Aneil went on to secure an internship with a World Health Organization project in Nairobi, Kenya. He worked in the field, gathering data for a research project evaluating the effectiveness of communicating with patients via text messages in order to improve the outcome of their HIV/AIDS treatment.

For his third summer, Aneil moved to Geneva to work for the WHO’s Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research. He researched the use of evidence in national health policy, wrote policy briefings and technical reports and developed a web site for the intern community.

Aneil is the twelfth Loran scholar to be selected as a Rhodes scholar.

The summer program surpassed all my hopes and I will remember it as one of the most rewarding and defining aspects of my W. Garfield Weston Loran Award. Aneil Jaswal


As our community of scholars, donors and volunteers grows, we want to provide opportu-nities for our family to come together. To that end, we host a retreat for all current Loran scholars on the second-last weekend of August every year. We also hold a scholar forum coincident with national selections and our university partners co-host events for past and present scholars, volunteers and supporters. We also provide an online space for past and present scholars at www.loranscholar.ca.

The scholars’ retreat was a tradition in the early years of the program, when scholars would gather in Prince Edward County. Since the scholars study at universities throughout Canada, the retreat is an excellent opportunity for them to reconnect and build new friendships.

At this year’s four-day retreat, scholar Mark Ouseley (’06) spoke about his experience starting a business and Frances Westley, J.W. McConnell Chair in Social Innovation at Waterloo, spoke about complexity, leadership and innovation.

Staff led a discussion about expectations for the mentoring and summer programs, drawing on the experiences of the scholars who had just returned from their public policy, enterprise and personal/community development summers.

a c o m m u n i t y o f s c h o l a r s


Our incoming and graduating scholars gathered during national selections weekend in February to assist with interviews and participate in a scholar forum. First-year scholars participated in two sessions. The first, on facing the real challenges of being an entrepreneur, was given by Ali Asaria, founder of online health and beauty store well.ca. The second session focused on managing volunteers.

The fourth-year scholars attended a presentation by a panel of past Loran scholars on the transition from undergraduate studies. The panel featured Graham Fox (’93), Mark Schaan (’97), Steven Uster (’97) and Kara O’Brien (’03). The afternoon included scholar-to-scholar presentations on their summer experiences and advice from fourth-year scholars to first-year scholars.

In the evening, we gathered for dinner to celebrate the graduating class of scholars and welcome the first-year scholars. Tim Brodhead, President & CEO of The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, gave a stirring keynote address about the need for ambitious, visionary leadership to address the key issues and problems facing us now and over the next generation. He reminded the scholars of the responsibility they have to seek out and address these problems.


In 2008, as part of our strategic planning process, we convened a committee of volunteers and staff to consider what was missing from our summer program. The group, which included James Appleyard, Wendy Rebanks, Nancy Young, Pearl Eliadis and Yaacov Iland (BMO Loran scholar ’97), identified the summer before scholars begin their university studies as an excellent opportunity for new programming.

Thanks to a multi-year pledge from Nancy Young, we were able to introduce a week-long orientation expedition, led by Outward Bound Canada, that provides scholars with an opportunity to challenge themselves physically, gain confidence in taking risks and work productively in a team setting. The week is also intended to

generate a shared sense of identity amongst the incoming class of Loran scholars before they disperse across Canada to begin their first term at university.

Scholars were divided into three groups that undertook a five-day hike in Algonquin Park. Each group hiked an average of 10 km daily, carrying all their personal belong-ings, food and sleeping gear, and taking turns leading their group. Scholars reported that the experience was both physically and mentally exhausting — difficult but highly rewarding. Upon their return, scholars had a day to debrief with the Outward Bound staff before leaving Burk’s Falls for Crieff Hills, where they joined upper-year scholars for the annual scholars’ retreat.

The scholars unanimously recommended that the experience be continued in future years.

or ien ta t ion exped i t ion


Personally, it was one of the most meaningful and beautiful experiences I have had in my life. To me it was obvious that the first year scholars have connected in a way that would not be possible without having gone through the experience. Katie Mattina, Caledonia, ON

It was an excellent personal and group challenge and really solidified the bonds in our class. It also exposed all of us to circumstances few of us had encountered before, and forced us to approach situations with creativity and openness. Joanne Cave, Sherwood Park, AB

The greatest part of this experience was simply getting to know everyone. I had briefly met everyone at national selections, but on this trip I actually got to know each and every person. I even made some friends who I know I will keep in contact with throughout my entire life.

James Hoffman, Edmonton, AB

[The experience] has absolutely transformed how I see my fellow Loran scholars: from associates to a real sense of camaraderie and friendship.

PROFILE : JEFF BARYSHNIK

While in high school, Jeff Baryshnik (Sun Life Loran scholar ’98) started his own car cleaning business, employing several other students. He went on to study business at the University of Western Ontario, where he was involved in an entrepreneurship association, several clubs, and student government. Jeff also chaired the United Way of London’s Youth in Action mentorship program for at-risk youth and was the fund-raising coordinator for Huron College’s student council at Western.

“CMSF has inspired me to extend the boundaries of my comfort zone. Its focus on character, service, and leadership has instilled in me further the importance of making a difference at university, in my work, and within the broader community. I bring this invaluable perspective to each new challenge.”

Jeff won the TD Waterhouse Investment Challenge in 1996 and 1997 and authored a personal finance book that was published by Random House Canada in 1999 and 2001. He held summer work placements at RBC Capital Markets in research and trading.

Jeff started his career in Morgan Stanley’s Mergers & Acquisitions Group in Los Angeles and Toronto, and worked at leading global hedge funds in Chicago and New York, where he was focused on value investing. At Citadel Investment Group, he initiated its Canadian value investment portfolio.

Recently returned to Toronto, Jeff founded an investment management firm, Baryshnik Capital Management Inc. (BCMI), which combines a low-cost index based investment strategy and research-intensive value investments.

Jeff serves on the board of directors of the Huron College Alumni Association and is a member of the board of governors of Mount Sinai Hospital. He is a leading alumni donor to CMSF and the Loran Awards.

It is a great honour to help CMSF discover and mentor Canada’s future leaders. I am excited to help other Loran scholars to make an impact in their communities.
