Benefit Dinner with Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird


On Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird, spoke to a full house at the National Club in Toronto, with proceeds from the event benefitting Alma.

The Minister was generous with his time and shared some of the most poignant moments of his career.

He also spoke about some of the human atrocities still being committed across the world today, reminding everyone present why we, as Canadians, are so fortunate to live in a free and tolerant society.

We are extremely grateful to the evening’s Presenting Sponsor, Barrick Gold Corp., as well as Silver Sponsor, Navigator, and the Auction Sponsor, Air Canada.

Thanks to the sponsors’ generosity, and a wonderful live auction, the event raised more than $40,000 for Alma, and 100% of the proceeds will be directed to our projects in Peru and Bolivia.
