The public spirit of a Canadian statesman has been silenced by death.

Jack Layton’s passing, albeit sad, serves as a reminder to celebrate the powerful legacy he left to Canadians. It was a heritage built on compassion, stewardship and hope for our society’s most vulnerable.

On behalf of World Vision, I want to extend my condolences, prayers and support to Olivia Chow and their family during this time of loss and grief.

Sincerely,

Dave Toycen
President & CEO World Vision Canada
