In October, Megan Landes, Chair of the G.R.O. Canada Board and James White, Director of G.R.O. Canada/Lesotho travelled to our nations capital to speak with various MPs and Senators about G.R.O.!   We had the opportunity to meet with the Honorables Mike Savage (MP - Dartmouth/Cole Harbour), Glen Pearson (MP - London North), Bob Rae (MP - Toronto Centre) and Jane Cordy (Senator).  Megan and Jamie spoke about the work G.R.O. is doing in Lesotho and our future directions, particularly in Canada.  As a result we learned a great deal about Canada’s position on development and foreign aid.  We commend those working in Ottawa to make Canadian investment in developing countries have a tangible impact on the poorest and most vulnerable global communities.

Additionally, G.R.O. was announced on both the floor of the House of Parliament by the Honorable Mr. Savage and the floor of the Senate by Senator Cordy.  G.R.O. would like to thank everyone who helped make this possible, and we look forward to further developing our Canadian initiatives in 2010!
