This eventually resulted in the formulation of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW).

Plaque: "Mounted inside on wall of Toronto Star Office 1 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario. One of Canada's most influential newspapermen, Atkinson became managing editor of the Toronto Star in 1899, and its majority owner by 1913. Originally hired by supporters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he sought to make the daily an instrument of social reform. His many and often sensational innovations changed the face of Canadian journalism, and made the Star Canada's largest circulation newspaper by the 1930s. A tough taskmaster in life, he generously bequeathed his fortune to the Atkinson Charitable Foundation, which endows an array of cultural, medical and educational institutions in Ontario."}} 4. ^{{cite book |last= Archer|first= William L.|author-link=William Archer (Toronto politician)|date= 1947|title= Joe Atkinson's Toronto Star: The Genius of Crooked Lane|url= https://archive.org/stream/joeatkinsonstoro00arch/joeatkinsonstoro00arch_djvu.txt|location= Montreal|publisher=}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.thestar.com/initiatives/santa_claus_fund/2013/10/26/how-it-all-began.html|title=How It All Began |date=October 26, 2013 |access-date=August 2, 2018 |quote="In 1906, a young Methodist minister alerted Atkinson to the deprivation facing 30 families in York township. One hundred children faced a bleak Christmas – a thought that likely stirred Atkinson’s own childhood memories. Atkinson launched The Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund, appealing to readers to ensure no child under age 12 would be without a gift at Christmas. On December 12, 1906 the front page story read “… whatever contributions made may be expended in bringing pleasure to little hearts where pleasure is most seldom felt. There are many hundreds of little folks in this wealthy city, and in this prosperous year, to whom Christmas and Santa Claus are unfortunately meaningless terms."}} 6. ^{{Cite web| title = Olivia Nuamah appointed as Atkinson Foundation's new Executive Director| access-date = March 22, 2019 |date=August 13, 2010| url = https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/olivia-nuamah-appointed-as-atkinson-foundations-new-executive-director-545095342.html}} 7. ^{{Cite web| date = January 24, 2019| title = Evening Brief: McCallum and the misspeak| work = iPolitics| access-date = February 3, 2019| url = https://ipolitics.ca/2019/01/24/evening-brief-mccallum-and-the-misspeak/}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://atkinsonfoundation.ca/atkinson-field-note/the-atkinson-fellow-on-the-future-of-workers/ |date=May 13, 2018 |access-date=August 2, 2018 |title=The Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers |first=Colette |last=Murphy |work=Atkinson Foundation}} 9. ^{{Cite news | last = Simmie | first = Scott| title = Street nurse earns prestigious honour | newspaper = Toronto Star | location = Toronto | pages= A1, A17| language = | publisher = Torstar | date = 2004-01-22 }} 2 : Charities based in Canada|Organizations established in 1942 |
