Wednesday was WE Day in Toronto, and thousands of students from all over Ontario made their way to the city for the event, which celebrates youth making a difference in their local and global communities. World-renowned speakers included Michael “Pinball” Clemons,Margaret Trudeau, Colonel Chris Hadfield, Spencer West, and Rick Hansen, who shared the stage both during the day and the evening performances. We’re thrilled to share some of the highlights of the day:
