Outward Bound Canada, Ontario is looking for a location to better suit our current operational needs.  This is further detailed below:

• - Property/Landlord 
• - Request for Information

Submit by 5:00 p.m. on September 28, 2018            

NOTICE INVITING INFORMATION FOR TENANCY

Outward Bound Canada, Ontario’s Wilderness program is seeking a location as the base of operations and a rental agreement with a prospective landlord.

Prospective landlords are invited to submit information to Outward Bound Canada.  Interested organizations or individuals can also contact Marika Chandler 1.888.688.9273 ext. 231.

Proposals will be received by e-mail to Marika Chandler @  marika_chandler@outwardbound.ca no later than 5:00 p.m. on Sept 28, 2018.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST

Outward Bound Canada has been in operation since 1969, from coast to coast. Our mission is to cultivate resilience, leadership, connections and compassion through inspiring and challenging journeys of self-discovery in the natural world.  We are both a charitable organization and non-profit organization.  We provide expeditions to a range of students from underserved youth, female survivors of domestic violence, veterans, and the general public. Our Ontario operations consist of two separate bases of operation, Toronto urban program and our wilderness program currently based in Katrine, ON.  We offer expeditionary experiences ranging from 1 – 32 days in length exploring the urban ravines or remote rivers in Northern Ontario.  Our busiest operational season is from May to November.

In a year we serve up to 500 participants within this program area.  We actively seek out funding opportunities and partners to support those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in expeditionary experiences; 70% of all of our participants are supported in some degree (10-100%) to attend our programs.   We employ up to 20 staff on contract in our busy operational season, and 2 full time staff year-round.  This team is supported by the National Expeditionary Support Team (NEST) based out of Toronto.  

Over our history our wilderness program has changed with the changing needs of our clients and our mission.  We originally were based in North-western Ontario in the Wabakimi region, eventually moved to a vast property outside of Burk’s Falls.  Changes in our operation have simplified our needs for a base and prompted a move from Burk’s Falls to Katrine.  We have been based out of this location for 8 years and have had a wonderful landlord and supporter with the Almaguin Campground.  At this site we have rented a portion of the property and operating business (an operating campground and trailer park).  We are looking for a location to better suit our current operational needs.  This is further detailed below however would include an office area, area for equipment storage, ample parking and the potential to have students on site for a single overnight.
