The IEEE Canada Humanitarian Initiatives Committee (HIC Canada) is composed of volunteers from across Canada who are passionate about addressing humanitarian challenges with the appropriate application of technology. HIC Canada supports IEEE members in Canada that are participating in humanitarian activities. We work on building relationships with organizations that will enable us fulfill the IEEE mission to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Our goal is to increase the proficiency of Canadian IEEE sections in taking on humanitarian technology initiatives through the active participation of their members. HIC Canada supports humanitarian technology initiatives and collaborations that are already in progress. We nurture external collaborative relationships (corporate, community, association) to generate partnerships for humanitarian technology projects. And, we nurture initiatives identified by IEEE Canada  members
