Plan International Canada
It is through the diversity of ideas, in themselves unique but working alongside one another in concert, that we allow something new to take root – new perspectives, new values, and a new way to see the world.
More than the history of Canadian philanthropy, this is the story of our country’s first 150 years. Now, we look toward the future and the important role that philanthropy will play in shaping the values, perspectives and approaches of the Canada to come.
In her keynote, “Distinguishing Good from Great,” Caroline will share with us the secrets, insights and vision that will ensure fundraisers play a critical role in shaping Canada’s future – and, in the process, help build a better world for us all.
