The Masonic Higher Education Bursary was established by Most Worshipful Brother Ross Sheppard, an Edmonton School Superintendent as the Official Outreach Charity of the Freemasons under the Grand Lodge of Alberta. The first four bursaries of $500.00 were given in 1959. Today, the Grand Lodge of Alberta continues to raise funds to assist students, who are in financial need, to attend university or college.

The mission of the Michael J. Owen Music Education Fund is to foster a passion for music among elementary school students. Music education is often under-funded in today’s schools. In addition, teachers face the incredible challenge of having 30 minutes once a week to teach 10 to 12 students a variety of instruments. To ensure that students will enjoy learning and make better progress, MJOMEF hires professional musicians as teaching assistants in the classroom to provide one-on-one coaching. This coaching helps students who need a little extra attention as well as students making rapid progress. This enables the teacher to continue with the rest of the class in an uninterrupted manner. MJOMEF also provides musical instruments and books for students who are financially unable to purchase these items. This year 185 students in 7 schools are benefitting from our support.

What is the philosophy of Conductive Education? Conductive education is neither therapy, treatment nor cure. It recognizes motor disorders as chronic conditions which result in problems of learning or relearning which will respond to appropriate teaching. Conductive Education fully acknowledges that children or adults with motor disorders may have continuing medical needs, which will benifit from appropriate medical intervention. This does not deny the needs for teaching and learning. Conductive Education asserts that there is much more to living and development than the medical and the social. There is the phycological too and, as in every sphere of human life, this is best addressed by education in its wildest sense. Further, as in all excellent education, the goal of Conductive Education is to create autonomous learners who go on to learn, adapt and develop under their own direction, because that is how they now are.
