The Event
Attending The Future of Atlantic Canada: A New East Parternship with The Honourable Scott
Brison, MP Kings-Hants is a way to show your support for the work and research conducted
by the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies.
AIMS strives to make a difference. Over the course of our 15 years, we have become one of
the world’s most decorated think tanks. We are a four-time winner of the Sir Antony Fisher
Award. Designed to recognise excellence in think tank publications and other projects, a
maximum of three Fisher Awards are given each year, and over 200 institutes are eligible
worldwide. In 2005, AIMS was awarded the Templeton Freedom Award for Institute
Excellence, the only think tank in North America to be so honoured that year.
AIMS is a charity for educational purposes (registered in both Canada and the US) that
operates with the financial support of foundation grants as well as corporate and individual
support. AIMS does not accept direct financial support for a project from anyone with
a direct commercial or other interest in the outcome of the research. AIMS also does
not accept government funding. The reason for this is to preserve AIMS’integrity and
independence. Without such integrity and independence, our research and commentary
would not be credible, thus defeating the whole purpose of our work.
AIMS has taken on projects in over a dozen public policy issue areas such as: health care,
education, oil & gas, public finances, social programs, regulatory reforms, urban affairs,
pharmaceuticals, and many more. We use the brightest minds available for our research,
analysis, writing, and peer review. We make our work available to people and groups
around the world. We welcome your support for one of Canada’s most decorated and
influential think tanks – AIMS, where tomorrow’s public policy begins today.
