We will have over 100 million acts of community building, and we and the world will never be the same!
For Canada’s 150th birthday, let’s all give a gift of three things—three acts of service. They can be large or small. Just ask yourself: What am I passionate about? What can I do to help?

OUR TEAM
3 Things for Canada is an initiative of the Mayor’s Civic Engagement Committee of Calgary.
Not long after he was elected, Mayor Naheed Nenshi challenged a group of dedicated volunteers to get all Calgarians taking action to make Calgary even better. The Mayor’s Civic Engagement Committee came up with a simple idea of asking every Calgarian to do three things to make their city better and 3 Things for Calgary was born.
Through initiatives like 3 Things for Calgary, City Hall 101 and other projects, this volunteer committee continues to encourage citizens to get involved in their community in a manner that is meaningful to them. The result is a more engaged society.
Now, inspired by Mayor Nenshi and our nation’s 150th birthday celebration in 2017, we’re scaling up 3 Things for Calgary and sharing this idea with Canada!
Here are the folks working on this project: Cesar Cala, Owen Chung, Nancy Close, Sara Corry, Lorna Crowshoe, Dani DeBoice, GOOD Company, Patrick Hlavac-Winsor, Gillian Hickie, Daorcey Le Bray, Kerry Longpré, Cheri Macaulay, Stewart McDonough, Elsbeth Mehrer, Tim Olafson, Olds College Video Production Team, Katie Paton, Kyle Thomas, Mary Valentich, Chris Wharton.
Our sincere thanks to Good Company for creating the design, including our website, in support of 3 Things for Canada, and to Olds College for their ETC video production services for creating our video.
