Why a “work Brigade” to Cuba?

• There is no better way to get to know the Cuban people than by working side-by-side with them, sharing meals and leisure time.

• Every year thousands of people from all over the world leave the comfort of their homes to take part in this extraordinary experience.

• Canadians have won a warm spot in the hearts of Cubans since the first Brigade visited in 1992 delivering concrete help to Cuba.

• Hundreds of volunteers from across Canada have visited the beautiful island and its people.
