- David O' Brien, Chairman, RBC and Encana
Every corporation has to develop its own wants, needs and objectives relative to corporate giving or investing in terms of the social community but I would argue that water, and a Calgary based program like CAWST is pretty important to the global initiative.”
-W. Brett Wilson, Chairman, Canoe Financial
Corporations, big and small, have been instrumental in financing a wide variety of pioneering and innovative activities which have resulted in a range of benefits for CAWST’s clients that were well beyond what was envisioned at the start of the program.
