Today's episode is the first of a three parts serie that will cover the Canadian territory from the western to the eastern part.
The goal is to give a voice to as many philanthropic actors as possible.

- What are some of the misconceptions about community foundations
- What is their role on the provincial scene
- How did Covid affected there work
