VIDEO: Living in reality: Non-profit leadership in an age of hard truths
Why It Matters
Non-profits are being asked to shoulder growing societal pressures without the modernized systems and resources required to meet them effectively
Mark Carney’s candid remarks in Davos have prompted broader conversations about Canada’s resilience and the systems we depend on.
