B.O.L.T. Charitable Foundation
The B.O.L.T. Charitable Foundation (Business Number: 832650048RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit organization focused on creating pathways to education, training, and employment in the construction industry for under-resourced youth. Established in 2013 as an independent charitable foundation, it originated from a program launched by Tridel, a Toronto-based construction firm, in 2009[5].
Mission and Programs
B.O.L.T. aims to inspire a new generation of industry professionals by offering scholarships, apprenticeships, and hands-on learning opportunities. Key initiatives include:
- Scholarships: Awarded to youth from high-risk environments and post-secondary students pursuing construction-related fields. Over 540 scholarships have been granted[5].
- Job Shadowing: Provides site-based mentorship, connecting participants with professionals such as health and safety specialists and project managers. Anecdotal accounts highlight career advancements resulting from these experiences, including promotions to specialized roles[1].
- Skilled Training: Supports apprenticeships, with more than 250 youth placed in trade programs[5].
- Speak Outs: Events where industry leaders share insights to motivate participants[1][5].
- Day of Discovery: Introduces youth to construction careers through workshops and site visits[2].
Impact and Partnerships
The foundation collaborates with community groups, government agencies, and construction firms to expand access to resources. Testimonials from scholarship recipients emphasize its role in fostering academic and professional growth, with many pledging to "give back" after achieving career success[1][5]. B.O.L.T. also funds organizations with complementary missions, amplifying its reach within the charitable sector[4].
History
Initially a Tridel-led initiative, B.O.L.T. became a standalone charity in 2013 to broaden its scope. Its evolution reflects a commitment to addressing labor shortages in construction while empowering marginalized youth[5].

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Every Child Matters 🧡 Today, we honour the Indigenous children who were taken from their families and placed in residential schools. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day is a powerful reminder of the intergenerational trauma caused by these institutions and the ongoing journey of healing for survivors, families, and communities. The orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture and freedom experienced by countless Indigenous children. It also represents our collective commitment to truth and reconciliation. Let this day be a call to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity. Because **Every Child Matters** — yesterday, today, and always. #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousVoices #NeverForgotten (fb)
