In 2005, brothers and Me to We co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger teamed up with Canadian Living magazine to celebrate true heroes by creating the first ever Canadian Living Me to We Awards.

Now in its eighth year, the Canadian Living Me to We Awards shine the spotlight on ordinary Canadians making an extraordinary difference in the world—thinking less about me and more about we. Led by Canadian Livingeditor-in-chief Susan Antonacci, Craig and Marc Kielburger, and Me to We Director Russ McLeod, the Me to We Awards have brought dozens of extraordinary Canadian heroes into the public spotlight.
