Across Canada and around the world, people are bringing these principles to life – learning together, strengthening local leadership, building partnerships, and creating change rooted in community.

In our 2025–2026 Annual Report, we share some of the people, partnerships, and moments that shaped the past year at Coady Institute. In this newsletter, we’re taking a closer look at two of those stories: a donor whose commitment to leadership reflects the cooperative values we share, and a Coady graduate whose learning continues to ripple through communities in India.

Together, these stories remind us that meaningful change grows when people have the opportunity to learn, connect, and lead – and when that learning is carried forward to strengthen others.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
