Audio interview with Adam Aptowitzer and Nicole Zummach
July 3, 2007
We hear all the time how our world has become a global village, how we can reach out to people across the planet in a matter of seconds. This is true for charitable organizations as well, many of which focus on international causes. But it's a complicated undertaking, with rules and procedures that must be followed. Adam Aptowitzer, a lawyer with the Ottawa-based law firm Drache LLP, explains what Canadian charities must have in place before they can operate overseas and what they can and can't do once they are there.
