Glenallen School caters for students with physical disabilities and severe health impairments, while providing learning programs for students with a broad range of intellectual abilities. Current students have complex needs and often multiple disabilities. We are committed to providing a child with a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment where children and young people feel safe and their rights are considered when decisions are made that affect their lives. Students can reach their full educational potential only when they are happy, healthy and safe, and when there is a positive school culture to engage and support them in their learning.
Transdisciplinary teams including teachers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists work together to plan, implement and evaluate individual student-focused learning programs. Other support staff include a music therapist, nurses, a community wellbeing officer, education support staff and personal care assistants.
Our aim is to provide for the development of each student intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally. Individual educational and therapeutic programs are designed to promote student achievement as well as maximise independence in the functional activities of daily living. Each student is encouraged to be an active participant in their individual learning program.
Invico Capital Corporation (“Invico”) is an award-winning Canadian investment fund management firm that has been providing alternative investing and financing solutions in Canada and the U.S. since its inception in 2005. The Calgary-based firm offers a range of private debt, energy, and real estate financing solutions that assist corporations in pursuing strategic acquisitions, financing capital expenditures and growth programs, and supporting working capital requirements.
Invico currently serves as the Investment Fund Manager for six funds, including the award-winning Invico Diversified Income Fund, which seeks to generate monthly returns for unitholders through a diversified portfolio of high-yield lending strategies and energy working interests across North America. This investment strategy serves as the foundation for the Fund’s niche hybrid structure, which combines approximately two-thirds privately negotiated debt with one-third direct participation in oil and gas wells.
The success of Invico and IDIF’s strategy was made clear in 2022, with the firm’s assets under management (AUM) growing from $1.4 billion to over $2.1 billion and IDIF’s AUM rising from $342 million to over $424 million. Additionally, IDIF’s innovative investment approach achieved several milestones over a 12-month period, including the issuance of over 100 consecutive distributions, a record annual capital raise, the sale of a subsidiary business for over $51 million, which was returned to the Fund, and the announcement of four additional distributions above the targeted rate of return.
Beyond the portfolio benefits offered by IDIF, Invico stands out in the Canadian private capital markets as a leader in diversity and inclusion efforts. The firm is overseen by one of the investment industry’s few female CEOs, Allison Taylor, and is proud to have a majority-female workforce that includes a C-suite comprised of 60% women and an investment team comprised of 56% women. Additionally, as a member of the 30% Club Canada, the company promotes gender balance at the board and management levels of both public and private companies.
Invico is also deeply committed to the broader community and has demonstrated various charitable initiatives, including introducing a charitable matching policy and a separate volunteer hours policy to encourage staff engagement. This initiative complements Invico’s extensive charity work, which included donations to over 22 local and national charities in 2022.
Further, Invico offers extensive advisory support and boasts a dedicated nationwide sales team, which includes native French-speaking members that service both the exempt market and Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (“CIRO,” formerly the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada) channels. Invico is also pleased to provide an in-house Investor Portal that has garnered attention from other private capital funds, with three additional entities adopting it for their use. With the capacity to generate over 22,000 investor statements each quarter and manage upwards of 24,000 accounts, the Investor Portal is a key tool in managing investors’ portfolios from 11 provinces and territories across Canada.
Lastly, as the winner of the Alternative Investment Solutions Provider of the Year at the 2023 Wealth Professional Awards, Invico is well-positioned to further its mission of transforming the Canadian investment landscape.
