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 in their communities and in the world. 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. You’ll find links to the columns below and we’d love to hear about your experiences doing good things in your community and the world. Please click the link to share your experiences.
