No Time for That Anti-Bullying Society (NTFT) is one of Canada’s leading anti-bullying charities with a mission to empower youth and educators to foster kind, empathetic, and inclusive school communities.

Founded by award-winning performing artist and motivational speaker Elsie Morden at age 17 after surviving years of traumatic bullying, NTFT is committed to actively preventing bullying before it has serious long-term effects, hindering students’ potential. Celebrating diversity, the charity leads with inclusion, empathy, and empowerment, striving to be and create strong role models for inclusive and supportive communities. The charity’s initiatives encompass a range of approaches, including educational programs, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with support services.

A cornerstone of the charity’s efforts is the annual NTFT Tour, Powered by BRP. Utilizing the transformative power of story and song, dedicated presenters deliver engaging presentations to schools and community organizations, sharing their own stories about overcoming difficult situations, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of bullying, strategies for conflict resolution, empathy-building, and resilience.

NTFT’s mission has yielded powerful results - to date, the organization has delivered nearly 700 school presentations both virtually and in-person across Canada. These efforts have directly impacted over 170,000 youth and 10,000 educators. What enhances the impact of these presentations is that there is no cost to the schools and parent school councils. These full production presentations include 45 minutes of speaking, live music performed by a band, videos, and activities. There is a 15-minute Q&A period and an opportunity to meet the touring crew. Additional classroom activities, materials, and resources are provided to teachers and parent council groups.

NTFT is dedicated to fostering connections, educating about bullying prevention that extends to every individual affected by it. Whether you are being bullied, the bully, a bystander, an educator, an administrator, or a parent, everyone stands to gain from equipping themselves with the necessary tools to initiate meaningful conversations that foster positive change.
