Canadian Members of the World Economic Forum

The initial intent of this page was to identify elected members of Canadian governments that were also members/participants in the World Economic Forum. As our research has continued, many more important connections have been found that we we feel are important to include to understand the reach and connections of the WEF within Canada. For this reason, they are included here.
