In 2004, ONF selected three communities (KFL&A, Grey Bruce, and Elliot Lake) to receive a two-year grant to adapt and implement the SOYF program in Ontario and evaluate its effectiveness
Formal evaluation (Corlett & Warren, 2006) found that the program could be sustained by ongoing leadership of lead agencies beyond ONF funding
SOYF approach is still present in some of the pilot communities, albeit in different form
