Launch of the 2012 GCWCC
His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, attended the launch of the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC): “Throughout my mandate, I have been urging people to get involved in the community, to give what they can of their time, talent and treasure. No matter what we give, no matter how we give it, we can all make a difference. This is something I believe strongly myself and it begins at home.”
