Winnipeg, MB – November 12, 2025 – The Reh-Fit Centre and the Reh-Fit Foundation today announce that they have been reaccredited under Imagine Canada Standards. Accredited since 2013, this distinction makes us part of a network of nonprofit and charitable organizations dedicated to continuous improvement, transparency, operational excellence and good governance.
Since 2012, Imagine Canada Standards serve as the only comprehensive set of standards developed by the sector for the sector in key areas of governance and operations: board governance, financial accountability and transparency, fundraising, human resources, and volunteer engagement.
“Achieving reaccreditation through Imagine Canada is our promise to uphold the highest standards in everything we do. At Reh-Fit, that means doing things the right way—with transparency, accountability, and strong governance. Accreditation provides us with valuable tools to stay on track and continuously strengthen our practices. Most importantly, it reinforces the trust our donors and community place in us,” says CEO Sue Boreskie.
"On the journey toward great governance, organizations pursue accreditation as a public testament to their commitment to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. We offer our sincere congratulations to the newly accredited and reaccredited organizations, key players in our Standards network of 280 organizations nationwide," says Bruce MacDonald, President and CEO of Imagine Canada. "By achieving accreditation, these organizations have solidified themselves as leaders in integrity, efficiency, and transparency in the nonprofit sector."
About the Standards
Since 2012, Imagine Canada Standards serve as the only comprehensive guidelines created by the sector, for the sector, to address key areas of governance and operations: board governance, financial accountability and transparency, fundraising, human resources, and volunteer engagement. These Standards are designed to promote best practices and transparency within charities and nonprofits seeking to continuously improve. The goal is to foster resilience and bolster public confidence in both individual organizations and the sector overall.
The accreditation process involves meeting 73 rigorous standards spanning financial management and accountability, fundraising, board governance, human resources, and volunteer engagement. The accreditation process is adaptable for organizations of all sizes due to a three-tiered structure allowing nonprofits and charities to get accredited at any level based on their needs. Standards oversight is ensured by the Standards Council, an independent group of sector representatives responsible for maintaining and evolving the standards.
Peer-review Process and Compliance
Our policies and procedures in the five areas of compliance were evaluated by a group of independent reviewers from the sector and were found to be compliant with the Standards. Accredited organizations are required to complete full reaccreditation on a five-year basis. Compliance and continuous improvement during the accreditation period are supported through a reporting process that requires organizations to submit evidence demonstrating selected standards are being met.
