Episode 2: Tom Cooper - People, Places, And Purpose.

In our 2nd episode of Voices in The City, CIF president Tom Cooper is interviewed by friend and colleague Roy Salmond on the people and places that benefit from the work of City In Focus. 

City In Focus is a wide-reaching organization that fosters organizations and people that work in the city, for the city, and importantly, for the Soul of the city. People from various businesses and walks of life are helping the marginalized and needy of Vancouver.

Through CIF’s BC Leadership Prayer breakfast, the Saint Nicholas Fund and many other public endeavours, City In Focus reaches out to galvanize the business community to connect with the social movers and shakers that make a difference in our city.

Tom is rich and thoughtful with a light touch that anyone can understand and appreciate. Candid, forthright, and forthcoming, Tom challenges and inspires us to be the best version of ourselves in the service of others.

Hear how help happens - in this animated and enlightening conversation.
