Purpose Driven Leaders Profile – Terry Fox
Terry Fox is a hero to me.
His iconic marathon of hope was a cross-country journey that stirred the hearts and souls of Canadians. It most certainly stirred mine.
He unified our country.
The image of him logging each mile is etched in the permanent memory of most Canadians. His purpose driven journey was fueled by limitless compassion, courage, and determination to help others.
Terry Fox was an athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research advocate.
He was a force for good.
Terry Fox knew something about conquering. And, his legacy will conquer.
We are joining many in perpetuating the goodness of his story. A story that Canada is proud to tell.
We are taking this opportunity to further the legacy of Terry Fox by making a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation.
We encourage you to join us by making a donation here : https://terryfox.org/
His marathon of hope will continue.
Divisive acts know nothing of the power and resilience of hope.

Purpose Driven Leader Profile
Today I want to honour Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s top public health official as an exceptional example of a purpose-driven leader.
When we think of a purpose-driven leader, we think of someone who stays true to their values, lives their purpose, and is committed to their own unique way of elevating humanity.
Throughout this pandemic, Dr. Shahab has stayed true to his purpose, tirelessly working to reduce the impact of Covid-19 in our province of Saskatchewan.
These are anxious times. Yet, guided by science, Dr. Shahab bravely leads with a level of humility and graciousness that is so rare today and direly needed.
Yesterday, in an emotional plea to the people of Saskatchewan, we saw the depth of his passion and concern. We also saw his unfailing commitment to the welfare of others.
His appeal struck the very core of my being.
I cannot imagine how he pushes forward in the political quagmire in which he exists. I believe his purpose has been his rudder.
If you have not had a chance to hear his remarks, you can find them here. I hope his message is heard and acted upon.
Thank you, Dr. Shahab, for your dedication, courage, and wisdom.
You are the purpose-driven leader we need right now!
