It’s time to celebrate Canadians. Canada is huge and culturally diverse – a country of immigrants, descendants of immigrants and Indigenous Peoples. Alongside fundamental rights and freedoms, Canadians widely embrace hope, kindness, inclusivity and compassion as core values. Real Canadians is a new column that features people in Canada who are taking action to make a difference. At a time when our world is becoming increasingly divided, coming together to help others could be the secret to a happier, healthier, and more meaningful life for all Canadians.
