Sep 24th, 2012 – Native Canadian Centre Visit

The World Religion and Current Aboriginal Issues in Canada classes opened the new school year by attending an event at the Native Canadian Center of Toronto.  We listened to resident teacher and member of the Ojibway tribe Don Jabokwoam share his extensive knowledge of history as well as his personal life experiences.  We are very grateful to Don and the Native Canadian Center for supporting our learning of Aboriginal history, spirituality and culture and we look forward to collaborating again in the future!

Jul 20th, 2012 – Keilhauer and The YMCA Academy

The YMCA Academy would like to thank Keilhauer for their generous donation of chairs for our new library.

In Sept 2011 The YMCA Academy moved into its new home in the Central YMCA’s north building. The YMCA’s commitment to youth is evident in their stunningly bright and recently remodeled school.

Committed to original design, Keilhauer engineers and manufactures a complete range of office seating and health care seating solutions out of its two Toronto, Ontario facilities. Keilhauer made the revolutionary discovery of gender differences in seated postures and introduced solutions to ensure that both men and women are supported in a task chair, and can adopt postures that bring more oxygenated movement to their bodies. Designed with scrupulous attention to detail, Keilhauer products are built for long life with a conscientious focus on environmental design principles.

The school’s new colours are now complemented by a large selection of Keilhauer chairs.


Keilhauer’s support through their generous gift of chairs (valued at $21,450) is greatly appreciated.
