Three. A small number, really. But Mayor Nenshi’s “3 Things For Calgary” campaign shows the impact that three little things can do.
When considering how I would Calgary a better place, I tried to include a variety of “things”:
- Become more involved in the artistic and cultural events taking place in the city. Attending film festivals, exhibitions, and anything else going on is a great way to become a part of the community and support local talents and programs.
- Get out and volunteer more. Even a few hours at the Salvation Army come with the reward of knowing that you helped someone.
- Work on reducing my carbon footprint, from using less water to recycling more. You may not believe it, but every little bit does make a difference, and it’s really not that hard to cut back on shower time or save more bottles
No one effort is more significant than another, and that’s the great thing about this campaign: no matter what you do, you’ll be making a difference.
