On May 27, 2010 3 p.m. a delegation of influential Hispanic Canadians from across Canada met with Hon. Stephen Harper at Parliament Hill.

The Spanish speaking delegation organized by the Canadian Hispanic Business Association from five different provinces included Frontiers Foundation Executive Director Dr. Marco A. Guzman who hails from the Aymara town of Huarina, Bolivia and was one of the (2007) award winners. Dr. Guzman had the chance to convey a brief message on the work of our made- in-Canada Aboriginal voluntary service organization on the number one priority in this country: affordable housing.

He also has delivered a thank you note to PM’s office with a copy to Hon. Diane Finley for the opportunity to meet him personally.

The financial support of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) enables Frontiers Foundation to develop our “Standing Tree to Standing Home” activity in Quebec (Algonquin), Ontario (Ojibwa), and Manitoba (Cree) communities. First Canadians are thereby enabled to fell their own timber, skid their own logs, mill their own dimension lumber on FF Woodmizer portable mills and build their own homes while qualifying in housing construction trades.
