*Canada-China Business Council

The *CCBC Board of Directors is a key resource for both the CCBC and its members. The directors’ 

cumulative corporate experience in China and their personal and business networks among China and Canada’s 
most senior government and business leaders is unparalleled. They speak with insight and authority on
Canada-China business, trade and investment issues and their voices are heard.

CCBC Board Members: Graham Shantz (President), Ed Legzdins (Vice-President), and Lisa Baiton (Director).)
