Quebec-Labrador Foundation
Quebec-Labrador Foundation/Atlantic Center for the Environment (QLF) is a not-for-profit organization in the U.S. and a registered charity in Canada. QLF's mission is twofold: to support the rural communities and environment of eastern Canada and New England, and to create models for stewardship and cultural heritage that can be applied worldwide.
Headquartered in Ipswich, Massachusetts, QLF has an office in Montreal, Quebec, and seven Field Desks throughout New England and into Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Quebec North Shore). The root of all of QLF’s programs, which began in the early 60s and continues through to today, is a belief in investing in the potential of each individual, and a belief that larger programs need to be identified and supported by the communities themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
