Leading with Purpose. Building Communities That Last.

Mercedes Wong is honoured to serve as President of Builders Without Borders Foundation Canada (BWBF Canada), a charitable organization that brings together leaders across the construction industry to create lasting social impact. Guided by the belief that everyone deserves safe, sustainable places to live, learn, and thrive, BWBF Canada harnesses the expertise of builders, trades, and volunteers to strengthen communities both locally and globally.

Under Mercedes’ leadership, the Foundation continues to advance projects that reflect its core values of collaboration, sustainability, innovation, and service. One of BWBF Canada’s flagship initiatives is Generations Village—an innovative, intergenerational community designed to provide affordable housing, support services, and meaningful connections for seniors, families, youth, and individuals of all abilities. The project exemplifies the Foundation’s commitment to creating inclusive communities where people can live with dignity, purpose, and belonging.

For Mercedes, serving as President is an opportunity to inspire positive change through action. She believes through collaboration, volunteerism, and a shared vision for lasting impact, BWBF Canada continues to transform lives, one project and one community at a time.
