Canadians Build a Better Life for Others
Infrastructure, the foundation of our standard of living, is
often taken for granted in Canada. Not so in some parts of the
world, where dreams of clean water, efficient roadways, basic
health services or stable financial systems have yet to make
the leap from vision to reality. Canadian aid and Canadian entrepreneurs
are helping to bridge that gap in developing nations.
