Pioneers for Change is a fundraising initiative that brings together accomplished Honourees who are deeply committed to the vision of a Canada where every immigrant succeeds.

This year's Honourees are coming together through a powerful Speaker Series, taking us through key current issues that all Canadians face today.

Their industry insight and expertise will give us an inside look at the successes, struggles and future considerations of the work being done on issues that deeply matter to our communities.

Our Honourees are Pioneers for Change.They are nation builders, extraordinary people who have made a major contribution to Canada. Pioneers for Change inspire newcomers to follow their vision and work toward their own success.

They are exemplary examples of Canada’s diverse citizens and organizations.
