The Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership is a non-profit organization based in Calgary which conducts activities across Canada.
The Foundation is supported by a bequest by Mr. Chumir, who was a lawyer, businessman, civil libertarian and Alberta MLA (1986 - 1992). Sheldon observed that "leadership exercised by individuals motivated by high ethical purpose can bring about significant change for the betterment of our society." He wanted the Chumir Foundation to "advance and encourage this type of leadership."
The Foundation works on a variety of issues to engage the public and nurture demand for ethical leadership.
The Foundation's two primary priorities are to encourage reform of Alberta's human rights (anti-discrimination) law and engage the public on issues connected with diversity and civil liberties. The work on diversity touches on topics such as free speech in a multicultural society, the appropriate role of religion in Canadian public life and the impact of greater diversity on gender equality in Canada.
Our other focus areas are all oriented to engaging the public in debate and demand for ethical leadership on: governance, rule of law, and democratic institutions; business ethics; and ethical leadership on the oil sands.
