Caroline Mulroney Lapham is a Canadian philanthropist[1] She is the oldest child of former Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney and his wife Mila.[2] Lapham is venture capitalist.[3] Lapham and her three sisters-in-law, Jessica Mulroney, Vanessa Mulroney and Katy Mulroney, co-founded The Shoebox Project, a non-profit that provides toiletries to women living in shelters, in 2011.[4][5]
On July 30, 2014, Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt appointed Lapham and three other individuals to the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority, a body to oversee a second bridge across the river that separates Windsor, Ontario from Detroit, Michigan.[6] The authority will oversee the new bridge's $4 billion construction. Tom Mulcair, leader of the, New Democratic Party of Canada, mocked her appointment, as an instance of the kind of corruption her father was suspected of.[7]
Lapham and her husband, Andrew Lapham married on September 16, 2000, and had the first of their four children on October 30, 2004.[8][9]
