Muttart Fellowship publications
Through the Muttart Foundation’s Fellowship program, senior managers of social service agencies are provided with a sabbatical year to undertake a special project of their own design. Some of these projects result in a book or other work which the Foundation makes available to the public. All of the works are available in print format from the Resource Centre for Voluntary Organizations at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, or at Volunteer Calgary for a fee of $10 plus GST, unless otherwise stated. The works are also available for download within six months of the publication date.-
