Top 25
Canadian Immigrants voting begins Sent by :Uvy Lopes
It takes a lot of guts to stand up and be heard. To
have an opinion and then share it with others. To
step out of our daily lives to reach out to those in
need. These are the types of people who have made
our top 75 shortlist for our Top 25 Canadian
Immigrants awards of 2011. Every immigrant on the
shortlist has touched the lives of someone in a
significant way, whether it's an artist who has
inspired, an entrepreneur who has hired, a doctor
who has healed or a teacher who has taught. Now it's
up to you to go online to canadianimmigrant.ca/top25 to vote for those you
think are most deserving.
