Atkinson Foundation

Thank you all for a fantastic evening yesterday at our Good Fight Prize event – where we had the great pleasure of announcing our 2025 winner: The Worth More! Campaign for Child Care Workers!

Congratulations to the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario, and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario for this win. You’ve given all of us an incredible example of what Joseph Atkinson called a “good fight”.

Congratulations also to our two finalist campaigns, the Investors for a Fair Economy Campaign and the Youth Climate Corps campaign. To all everyone who is fighting for decent work in all its dimensions – we stand with you.

We’re excited about the victories to come in 2026 and beyond.

Today is the day! Tonight we’ll be awarding the 2025 Good Fight Prize to one of our three deserving finalists in the fight for decent work.

This moment couldn’t arrive at a more meaningful time. We know that, reading the news today, it’s easy to think our economy serves the bad guys. And nowhere is that more evident than in our workplaces, where workers always seem to come last.

For over 80 years, the Atkinson Foundation has stood with those on the front lines of the fight for decent work. And tonight we can’t wait to share with Canada the proof that, yes, the good guys can finish first.
