World Vision is a Christian humanitarian advocacy, relief, and development organization active in more than 90 countries around the world, providing help to more than 85 million people each year. Canada has been part of the World Vision family since the early days. In 1950, Pierce held the first meetings in Canada to discuss what he had seen and learned in Asia. In 1957, Canada's first World Vision office opened in Toronto.

Today the new national headquarters, overseen by president Dave Toycen, is one of World Vision's busiest offices. World Vision is Canada's largest private relief and development agency. Today, Canadians support more than 330,000 children around the world. Child sponsorship helps fund World Vision Canada's international long-term development projects. World Vision Canada has a long history of partnering with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and other government bodies in overseas development and in addressing global issues, such as child rights, hunger, and health.
