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 discussion…to 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.
