このコンテンツについて
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”—Winston Churchill
What makes a soldier? What makes a business mind? What makes a philanthropist? In this rich memoir, Canadian icon of mining finance and public service Terry Salman reflects on his remarkable life, offering inspiration and mentorship for others seeking to build their own legacies.
Salman traces his journey from his modest beginnings in Montreal as the son of a Turkish immigrant father and Quebec-born mother, to the traumas of the Vietnam War, to his rise up the Canadian business world, and the growing dedication to service that earned him the Order of Canada.
He recounts the moments that shaped him: the brotherhood of the U.S. Marines and the lifelong duty of loyalty and community they instilled in him; the traumas he endured as a young sergeant in Vietnam; his return to Canada and the mentors who helped guide his success; and his many roles in helping others.
As he climbs the corporate ladder, his deep-seated faith and commitment to social responsibility grows. He takes on leadership roles, including chairman of the Vancouver Public Library Foundation and the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation—where he helped fund a hospice for AIDS patients—and Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Singapore.

“Terry Salman, a second-generation Canadian, tells a very personal story of searching for meaning... [and] finding purpose in random acts of kindness. A worthy read for people who want to change the world.”
Pierre Lassonde, CM, GOQ, entrepreneur and philanthropist
“What We Give reflects a life lived with love, passion, and intensity. Above all, Terry Salman’s desire to give back and support those most in need should serve as an inspiration to all. As he illustrates throughout, giving can take many forms, and often the most powerful gift is to help others meet their full potential.”
Dr. Julio S.G. Montaner, OC, OBC, Executive Director and Physician-in-Chief, BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS
“Terry Salman speaks of those he has supported through philanthropy with the same reverence he has for fellow Marines and Canadian business titans featured in his impressive military and civilian careers. What We Give is a must-read story about military service, personal resilience, the Canadian investment industry, and how a man drew upon all three to give back to his community.”
Oliver Thorne, Executive Director, Veterans Transition Network
