Canada’s value is not in its mineral resources, not in its oil and gas reserves or in its abundant clean energy. It’s in its people. This page is dedicated to highlighting the uniqueness of our great country. From cultural celebrations to contributions by our many nations within our nation, it is not a thread but a highway that connects us. From culinary experiences to unique technological talents, from environmental issues to intellectual breakthroughs, this mosaic of Canadians makes us great. Not again. Great, still. Great,always.
This page will look at these contributions, both historical and emerging. Both individual and collectively. Because every piece and every collection makes us special.
If you have an idea to contribute, please do not hesitate to contact us at bizdynamics1@gmail.com

It is a celebration of our differences that connect us, with nearly a half million visitors sharing their evenings with strangers who become friends, as we embrace the colour of life around us.
