The GGCLC was created in 1983, by then-governor general Edward Schreyer, and is held every four years. It brings together Canada’s future leaders from business, labour, government, non-governmental organization, education and cultural sectors for a unique, two-week experience aimed at broadening their perspectives on work, leadership, their communities and their country.

"Leaders must be confident but know their limitations. We must rely on what we know but keep an open mind to new ideas. We must strike a balance between organizational success and the betterment of the community and the country."
