Launched in 2016, The Brookfield Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (BII+E) was founded in 2015 and was made possible by the vision of Sheldon Levy (former Ryerson University President) and Jack Cockwell (Brookfield Assets Management). The institute was started with a $16 million donation from Jack Cockwell and Brookfield Partners Foundation.
The Brookfield Institute is housed within Ryerson University. Their mission/mandate is to "generate far-sighted insights and stimulate new thinking to advance actionable innovation policy in Canada". To achieve their mission, they partner with academics, students, entrepreneurs, business executives and public sector leaders—across all organizations, without limitations or restrictions. The Institute is governed by an independent Advisory Board, which provides strategic direction and oversees the Institute’s leadership team. The Brookfield Institute and Ryerson University are strong partners, but with separate voices. We are immensely proud of this relationship and believe it will mutually benefit both partners— and Canada—for many years to come.

In 1887, John Bayne Maclean acquired the publication, Canadian Grocer. The company was incorporated in 1891 as J.B. Maclean Publishing Co. Ltd. In 1905, he bought The Business Magazine, later changing the name to Busy Man's Magazine and then to Maclean's in 1911. Maclean and friend Stewart Houston founded The Financial Post in 1907. The Chatelaine (later renamed Chatelaine) was launched in 1928. The company entered French publishing in 1930. Over time, Maclean ventured into international publishing with titles in the U.S. and Britain. The company's large printing plant opened in Toronto in 1948 and received a Governor General's medal for architectural distinction. J.B. Maclean passed away in 1950 and majority ownership and control was passed to Horace T. Hunter. He had joined the company in 1903 and over time acquired a substantial minority ownership and became president in 1933. The Hunter name was added to the company in 1945 (Maclean-Hunter). Other magazines and publications were added to the portfolio over the years. In the early 1960s Maclean-Hunter Publishing Limited teamed up with Clare L. Chambers and Donald G. Hildebrand to form Great Lakes Broadcasting Limited. Through this partnership, Maclean-Hunter entered the broadcasting business when Great Lakes acquired CFCO-AM Chatham from John Beardall. Maclean-Hunter owned 50% of Great Lakes with each of the other partners holding 25%. In 1965 the companies stock became publicly traded and in 1967 they entered the cable television business. In 1970 the company entered the book distribution business and in 1982 Maclean-Hunter entered the daily newspaper business with the purchase of 51% of Toronto Sun Publishing Corp.

In the late 18th century, the Church of England did not have a body to organise and effect its missionary activity and there became a growing realisation that there was scope for a society to evangelise the indigenous people. In 1799, a group of Evangelical clergymen and laymen (all members of the Eclectic Society, an Anglican discussion society) met at the Castle and Falcon Inn in Aldersgate in the City of London and the 'Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East' was formed. At that meeting, John Venn, rector of Clapham (and a member of the Clapham sect) laid down the guidelines which the CMS continues to follow. The basis was that the society should be loyal to the leadership of bishops and to the Anglican pattern of liturgy but that it was not to be dominated by clergy. It emphasised the role of laymen and laywomen and was and is primarily a membership society comprising its missionaries, its supporters and its staff at headquarters.

The Church Missionary Society (now renamed as the Church Mission Society) is administered by its committees and each Secretary to a main committee is in charge of a department at headquarters. The General Committee (now the General Council) is the most important and is responsible for overall policy and all CMS members are represented on the General Committee. The main departments at headquarters included the General Secretary's Department, the Finance Department (both in existence from the foundation of the Society), the Medical Department (set up in 1891), the Candidates Department (set up in 1897) and the Home Department (set up in 1871). Initially the Society had no designated offices but in 1813 it rented premises in Salisbury Square which had expanded by the end of the 19th century to house a large headquarters with a complex administration and numerous staff working under eleven Secretaries. The Society moved from the City of London in 1966 to premises in Waterloo Road; after the opening of regional offices in Ghana, Korea and Singapore in 2006, CMS headquarters moved out of London to the current location of Watling Street, Oxford in 2007.

The original Sampson Low was established in 1793. Re-established by his son in the earlier 1800, it has gone through several name changes: Sampson Low, Son & Co.1860-1862; Sampson Low, Son & Marston 1867-1869; Sampson Low, Marston, Low and Searle 1873-1874; Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington 1876-1890; and finally Sampson Low, Marston & Company 1891-1950. In 1950 it was taken over by the British Printing Corporation (BPC). Between 1981-1991 the press was closed down in and de-registered in 1993. George Low, one of the direct descendants of the founder, discovered the remains of the dismembered company at Companies House in Cardiff – and brought it back to life by re-registering Sampson Low Ltd in October 1997.

The National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC) was founded on October 27, 1893, at a public meeting in Toronto, chaired by Lady Aberdeen, wife of the Governor-General of Canada, at the Horticultural Pavilion in Toronto and attended by 1500 women. It was founded in a period when women were beginning to organize themselves for effective community action. Many women, looking beyond the charitable societies, garden clubs, music and literary clubs, and missionary societies to which they belonged, saw the need for societal reform, better education for women, even women’s suffrage. They realized that they would be much more effective if they spoke with a united voice. The International Council of Women (ICW) had been founded a few years earlier, in 1888, at a meeting in Washington, D.C. The idea of a Canadian Council was developed at the ICW World’s Congress of Representative Women, meeting in Chicago in May 1893. A group of women attending from the Dominion of Canada took the opportunity to form a provisional executive for the possibility of a new Canadian Council. From its beginning, the National Council worked to improve the status of women. Some of its earliest efforts were directed towards improving the lot of three underprivileged groups/women prisoners, women working in factories, and women immigrants. By 1900, its members were reporting the appointment of matrons in some institutions housing women prisoners, and of women inspectors in Ontario and Quebec factories where women were employed.

The Organisation for European Economic Co-operation; (OEEC) came into being on 16 April 1948. It emerged from the Marshall Plan and the Conference of Sixteen (Conference for European Economic Co-operation), which sought to establish a permanent organisation to continue work on a joint recovery programme and in particular to supervise the distribution of aid. The headquarters of the Organisation was in the Chateau de la Muette in Paris, France. The European organisation adopted was a permanent organisation for economic co-operation, functioning in accordance with the following principles:
-promote co-operation between participating countries and their national production programmes for the reconstruction of Europe
-develop intra-European trade by reducing tariffs and other barriers to the expansion of trade,
-study the feasibility of creating a customs union or free trade area,
-study multi-lateralisation of payments, and
-achieve conditions for better utilisation of labour.
The OEEC originally had 18 participants: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Western Germany (originally represented by both the combined American and British occupation zones (The Bizone) and the French occupation zone). The Anglo-American zone of the Free Territory of Trieste was also a participant in the OEEC until it returned to Italian sovereignty.

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is a national advocacy organization representing First Nation citizens in Canada, which includes more than 900,000 people living in 634 First Nation communities and in cities and towns across the country.
In 1982, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) was created as a result of movements to restore chiefs as the voice of First Nations in a Canada-wide deliberative assembly. Prior to that time, the Canada-wide representation of Indigenous peoples in Canada occurred through the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB), which centred on representation through provincial organizations (several of these organizations began as early as the 1920s, and many were based on political traditions dating from before European contact). The NIB had succeeded the National Indian Council (founded 1961) and represented Aboriginal interests throughout the 1960s and 1970s under leaders Walter Dieter, George Manuel and Noel Starblanket. In the late 1970s, First Nations increasingly pushed for the rights of self-government. In 1979, hundreds of First Nations met in London, England, and determined to establish a new organization, and to stop patriation. Hundreds of chiefs met in Ottawa the following year, outlining their relationships with Canada and with one another in a manifesto entitled the Declaration of First Nations (signed in December, 1980). At the National Indian Brotherhood general assembly in 1982, the Assembly of First Nations was officially founded.
