About Solutions 4 Lyfe
Creating Change with Innovative Policy
Solutions for You, Solutions for Life
We are building an end-to-end pathway to social change
A Transformative Mission
Solutions 4 Lyfe (S4L) creates pathways to real and lasting social change. We bring together the four pillars of society — government, industry, academia, and communities — to transform fragmented efforts into mission-driven collaboration.
Our vision is an end-to-end system for change, where trust and partnerships are not ad hoc but structured, scalable, and sustainable. By aligning changemakers, innovators, and allies with the influence of decision makers, we unlock new opportunities for policy, impact, and growth.
After a year and a half of strategy and design, S4L is ready to launch its first product — a foundational system of trust that will be the starting point for a suite of innovative solutions. Each solution will serve as a building block on the pathway to change, accelerating collaboration and creating measurable results.
At S4L, we believe that change doesn’t just happen — it’s built.
We bring together a diverse collective of changemakers committed to social change
Change makers are strategically aligned through the Change Makers Club of Canada (CMC). CMC is the national home for change makers, bringing together leaders from business, government, academia, and communities to build trust, collaborate across sectors, and drive sustained social change.
Our Allies
Supporters and collaborators who contribute resources, expertise, and
networks to advance our mission.
These stakeholders are strategically aligned through the Board of Directors and their
respective divisions. Operationally, they engage with S4L staff and founding partners in collaborative efforts such as meetings, projects, collaborations, and events, ensuring
synergy and collective impact.
Change Makers Club of Canada
At its core, the Change Makers Club of Canada (CMC) is more than a network. It is a home — a place where changemakers resource themselves and each other, where collaboration is intentional, and where trust is systematized. CMC creates spaces for dialogue, experimentation, and long-term partnership through retreats, roundtables, cross-sector pods, micro-residencies, and an annual summit. By grounding relationships in care and shared purpose, CMC enables leaders to move beyond silos and co-create solutions that are scalable, resilient, and rooted in the collective good.
Events and Meetups
CMC members take part in a mix of recurring and signature experiences designed to build trust and create impact across sectors. Expect slow burn socials to grow authentic connections over time, roundtables for focused dialogue on pressing issues, and cross-sector connection pods to build strong bonds in small groups. Members can also join retreats for deep collaboration, micro-residencies to shadow or exchange roles across sectors, and library/office hours to share and access expertise. Every year, the community gathers at the National Change Makers Summit — the flagship event that celebrates progress, sparks new partnerships, and sets the agenda for the future.
