Summary:
"In this latest collection of personal stories, Peter Mansbridge and former CBC producer Mark Bulgutch shine a light on the everyday jobs that keep
our
nation
running and the inspiring
people
who
perform them with empathy and kindness. Meet the 911 operator in British Columbia
who
sends help to callers in crisis and stays on the line, steadying them as they wait. Hear from the chief of the Neskantaga First
Nation
in northern Ontario,
who
sacrifices his personal time to fight for better resources for his community, which has had a boil water advisory since the mid-1990s. From the air traffic controller
who
ensures
people
get to where they need to go, to the midwife in Saskatchewan
who
guides families through pregnancy and the birthing process, these are the jobs that connect Canadians on both a logistical and personal level. Though
Canada
is still very much a work in progress, this enlightening book celebrates
how
we are greater than the sum of
our
parts by championing the
people
that
make
our
country great."--Barnes&Noble.
