Civics 101 has been developed in partnership with a select group of organizations and individuals whose expertise has helped to form the content on this site.

The Maytree Foundation is a private Canadian charitable foundation, committed to reducing poverty and inequality in Canada and to building strong civic communities. The Maytree Foundation has incorporated Civics 101 content - the animations, videos, and printed materials - into their "How Government Works" instruction workshops. As well, Maytree is helping to conduct content testing of Civics 101 within communities that may not otherwise have easy access to the website either due to economic or linguistic barriers.

Settlement.Org, an award-winning website, is an excellent source of useful and up-to-date information and resources for new immigrants to Ontario. Settlement.Org and Civics 101 are sharing expertise and information to enhance the resources on both websites. For example, videos from Civics 101 will be featured on Settlement.Org and they are helping TVO to understand the type of information that would be helpful to newcomers.
