HISTORICAL ROOTS
Aquinas Institute was originally registered with the Government of British Columbia as a sole proprietorship in December 1997; however, it was only four years later in 2001 that it was able to start its business operations and it operated as a charitable organization from 2001 to 2005. The talents, time and efforts of its personnel were offered and used for charitable causes. Most of its acquired earnings were donated to various local, national and international charities.

The Corporation is dedicated to the Holy Family - Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It is committed to carry out its mission in ways that draw inspiration from the examples of the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Anthony of Padua, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and Pope John Paul II.
