A review by magsisreadingagain
Extraordinary Canadians by Peter Mansbridge

4.0

In a year of chaos and uncertainty, a book about strength, resilience, empathy and compassion was exactly what I needed. Retired journalist and news anchor Peter Mansbridge and television producer Mark Bulgutch have compiled the stories of 17 individuals who are making a difference in the daily lives of millions of Canadians. From entrepreneurs to advocates, politicians to parents, these first-person accounts provided me with a stronger connection than if they had been written from a journalistic outsider perspective. The emotions and motivations that have propelled these people forward are universal truths, and offered a reminder of the importance of community and vision. A refreshing take on the people who keep this country real.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Canada for providing an advanced reading copy for my honest review.
