“Strong leaders aren’t born everyday – they’re made – they can be

nurtured through the right education programs, mentorship and
investment... Our nation’s youth need mentors and role models. We have
to get a focus on business back into the classroom.
The legacy we leave is only as strong as those we leave it with.

Volunteer Screening Protocol
New protocol
creates standards
of conduct,
performance
and excellence.
JA CanadaTM has implemented a new Volunteer Screening Protocol with

the release of a “how to” manual. The development of the protocol and
procedural manual was generously supported and funded by TD Bank
Financial Group. This was a collaborative initiative with a group of
eleven local JA office representatives and experts from industry.
Beyond being strictly a preventative measure, this new protocol creates

standards of conduct, performance and excellence that make JA the
organization of choice for volunteers looking to make a meaningful
and fulfilling investment in our youth. As a leader in volunteerism, JA
ensures our youth, our brand and the organizations and individuals
involved in delivering programs are safeguarded from risk.
Recognized as an organization dedicated to

volunteerism and the development of youth.

Over the past two years, with the generous support of Imperial Oil
Foundation, we’ve made a series of investments to establish a mission-
driven JA Alumni program in Canada. Two Alumni reunion events and
focus groups were held to unite senior and junior achievers in planning
sessions. More sessions are planned to gain an understanding of the
elements upon which a successful and sustainable program could be
built.
2008/09 will be a turning point in the establishment of a JA community

that engages senior and junior Achievers with a focus on social ventures
and entrepreneurship as extensions of JA programs.
The development of an active and sustainable network will serve

JA both locally and nationally, in programs, participation and in the
community. This program will be further developed this year with
Imperial Oil Foundation continued investment in life-stage research,
campaign and program modeling.
Recognized for re-uniting Achievers

for life achievements in business and service to Canada’s economy,
community and nation.
The Order of the Business Hall of Fame honours the outstanding

contributions of Canadian business leaders to the economic growth and

enterprising young Canadians for generations to come. It is a tribute to
the dedication of Canada’s business community, ensuring that
Junior Achievement remains part of the solution to bridging
the talent gap by inspiring a productive and talented
workforce.
In the inaugural year of the Order all current Hall of Fame

honour is symbolized by the Companion gold lapel pin and

the standards of practice and philosophies governing the Canadian
Business Hall of Fame, and pursuant to the mission of Junior
Achievement in Canada.
“The Canadian Business Hall of Fame has entered a new era. The role
of our inductees and that of the business community at large has never
been more significant in ensuring we reach our potential. This is truly
