On any given day, ordinary Canadians exhibit courage in myriad ways. Some do so in the face of danger--like six-year-old Sophia LeBlanc, who, in the aftermath of a crash, escaped an upside-down and partially submerged minivan to get help for her family. Some do so by choosing to fight injustice instead of turning a blind eye--like McGill University student Tomas Jirousek, who supported other Indigenous students to push the school to change the troublesome name of its athletic teams. And some demonstrate courage when they overcome adversity--like Timea Nagy, whose experience as a survivor of human trafficking compelled her to become an advocate for others and a voice for change. In Canadian Courage: True Stories of Canada's Everyday Heroes, you'll meet thirty-five remarkable people--men, women, children and even an animal or two--who have shown remarkable courage in the face of danger, injustice and adversity.
