Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium and Textiles HR Council are working with Global Vision in sponsoring Connor Lyons through its Canadian Manufacturing Network initiative.

The team will be all business dressed to impress - forgoing surf lessons - in favour of winning key business and government contacts to help Brand Canada on the World Stage. All three have prior experience with Global Vision trade missions, and having demonstrated an aptitude for representing their sponsors were selected to take on this challenge. The team has large shoes to fill. Past teams have very successfully built contacts, and created a presence for Canada at the APEC Summits.

Through meetings with a variety of business, government, and global community leaders they were able to successfully increase Canada's profile and brand awareness through APEC. This year will be no different, though the destination is known as a place of relaxation - the current Global climate means APEC 2011 will be one of the most pivotal Summits to occur in a number of years.

Global Vision was founded by President Terrence (Terry) Clifford, C.M as a Member of Parliament (London Middlesex) in 1991. To date, the various programs have trained well over 25,000 young canadians and many foreign youth in 5 countries.
