The Cool Corps.
Originally introduced at the Withinsight Student Leadership Conference in Ottawa, the Corps idea is based on Cool to be Canadian's experiences during the Manitoba floods and Eastern Ice Storm. The Cool Corps intends to harmonize and enhance the Canadian experience, providing an effective avenue for established and new Canadians to gain respect and acceptance in Canadian society. In times of crisis, disaster relief or any need to mobilize Canadians, the Cool Corps reflects our collective willingness to help each other. 
The Cool Patrol - Young Canadians can become members of the Cool Patrol if they believe in their communities, and support the principles of "Be, Buy, Boost Canadiantm".
1 BE Yourself (build your self-esteem and confidence)
2 BUY from your neighbours (and stimulate your local economy)
3 BOOST other Canadians (support and encourage risk-takers and community-building entrepreneurs)
Unlike the "Shop Canadian" and other weak "Top Down" efforts of the past (which primarily influenced Tourists looking for authentic Canadian-Made items, and had little effect on every-day Canadian consumer habits) the Be, Buy, Boost program, managed and operated by young Canadians, is a grass-roots movement to help consumers (their peers, parents and new immigrants ) make informed buying decisions directly related to maintaining healthy, successful communities. 3-B will help young Canadians to re-build their home communities, participate in stimulating local job growth and create new "home-grown" opportunities for all Canadians.
The Volunteer Impact software. 
Not For Profit Software from Volunteer Impact. Individuals can sign up for new volunteer jobs, view their volunteer schedule, let a local Volunteer Manager know when they are available and log their volunteer hours. 
Individuals use www.MyVolunteerPage.com to join, and the regional Cool to be Canadian Branch Offices help match and coordinate volunteer recruitment. Backgrounder
The SWOT Team.
Management consultants helping non-profits with the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of their organization. 
The initial SWOT Team is comprised of MBA's from HEC Montréal. Regional teams from local business schools will be added as the branch offices are established.
