Ross McMillan, Tides Canada President and CEO, will speak on the current critique of environmental charities, accountability and transparency in the charitable sector, and the work that Tides Canada is doing across the country to support healthy communities and a healthy environment.

Kudos, Congrats & Comments
Dear Mr. McMillan
I am very pleased to hear that you will be addressing this in your speech today. TIDES along with many other philanthropic organizations and ENGOS undertake vital work on behalf of Canadians and to safeguard nature. It is very sad to see a Canadian government not only bent on shutting down democratic debate in our country but vilifying those who work to secure a healthy, safe and sustainable future for all of us. Please know that you are supported in your efforts and thanked for your good work!!
Best,
Karen Kraft Sloan
