The foundation supports sustainable improvements in the quality of life of poor, marginalized communities in Asia and Africa, and fosters dialogue on critical global issues to enhance Canada’s unique leadership in world affairs.

One of the initiatives the foundation uses to raise funds and awareness is World Partnership Golf which was launched in 2000. The tournament takes place in eight cities across Canada and the Calgary event, held at Priddis Greens, was a resounding success.
