Eve Hell and the Razors
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.
Join the party on New Year’s Eve and volunteer to work at
our celebrations. There are opportunities to suit everyone
