For Canadians

Make your mark

The Canadian Supers we profile didn't start out famous. They started by noticing something that needed doing. Then they acted.

What makes a Super

It's not about recognition. It's about contribution.

They show up

Consistently. When it's inconvenient. When no one's watching.

They see others

The student struggling. The neighbour alone. They pay attention.

They act anyway

Doubt doesn't stop them. They might fail. They do it anyway.

Ways to begin

Start where you are. Use what you have.

In your community

Local impact

The most meaningful change happens closest to home.

  • Coach a youth team
  • Mentor a newcomer
  • Volunteer at a food bank
  • Support a local shelter
In your field

Professional impact

Your expertise is valuable. Share it.

  • Mentor someone starting out
  • Speak at schools
  • Offer pro bono services
  • Advocate for better practices
For causes

Advocacy impact

Stand for something. Make it visible.

  • Support reconciliation efforts
  • Champion accessibility
  • Promote mental health awareness
  • Support environmental initiatives
One person at a time

Personal impact

Sometimes one person is enough.

  • Be the adult a kid can trust
  • Check on someone isolated
  • Listen without fixing
  • Show up for hard conversations
