The third annual Just One Wish Kindness Awards were held on July 1, 2017 in Gage Park during the It’s Your Festival celebrations for Canada’s 150th birthday. Organizers honoured 151 children (150 for Canada’s birthday and one for good luck), age 4 to 18, from across HWDSB for their kindness. These children exemplify what is means to be Canadian and what Canada is all about. Congratulations to all!
