We are committed to doing good by investing in what matters most to our people and putting our purpose into action by giving back to our communities. Whether through our time, talents or financial contributions, we are a force for good – and there are so many ways that we give back.
Below is a list of our annual community investment programs.
Through the OTIP Bursary program, we offer a $1,500 bursary to 30 students each year who are enrolled in full-time or part-time post-secondary studies in a college, university, skilled trades, or technology program. We are also proud to offer the OTIP Bursary for Indigenous Students, created in partnership with Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures initiative. This new bursary will provide fourteen $1,500 awards annually to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students for the next two years.

The OTIP Education Worker Awards seek to recognize and celebrate the important role that education workers play in our school communities and to student success. Each year, we recognize two education workers in the categories of educational support, and office professional, custodial and maintenance.
OTIP Kindness in School Award
The OTIP Kindness in School Award was created to honor the most admirable qualities Francophonie educators bring to their work: their genuine compassion, love for others, and steadfast commitment to their school community.

Awards are given each year to outstanding teachers in the categories of (1) elementary, (2) secondary and (3) beginning teacher.
