Many public health and social service institutions have been supported in their work over the years by a foundation, often named after the institution it supports; for example, the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation, the St Mary’s Hospital Foundation, or the Jeffery Hale-Saint Brigid’s Friends’ Foundation. In the English-speaking community some of these foundations have existed for many decades and are part of the history and identity of those groups within the English-speaking community that founded them. Bill 10 did not directly change anything that affects the legal foundation or the governance of such foundations, but the consequences of Bill 10 do have direct and real impacts on the way foundations interact with the institution they support which is now merged into another, new institution with a different name.
