Mayor Naheed Nenshi describes Canada’s 150th birthday as a great opportunity for us to consider what gifts we, as citizens, may be able to give back to our nation. He encourages everyone to do Three Things for Canada in 2017. However simple or involved those acts of service may be, they will make a profound difference in our neighbourhoods, our nation, and the world.
