Canada as the Best Place to Live
Embracing Diversity - Enhancing Mutual Respect and Your Vision of the World
How the future of Canada, as a result of its remarkable racial diversity, has probably the most extraordinary future among countries in the whole world. And how we can continue working towards such a goal.
Named "one of the 100 most important people in Canadian history" by Maclean's magazine, Tomson Highway is an award-winning and multi-talented artist.
A playwright, author, musician, and multilingual speaker, Highway has also found time to complement these great accomplishments with his work as a social worker, native artistic director, adjunct professor, and world traveller.
Throughout his life, Highway has overcome incredible obstacles to find himself where he is today. He lived through the residential school system, faced prejudice, and struggled to have his work recognized. Along the way, he relied on music and art to heal and inspire himself and others around him.
A member of the Order of Canada and the recipient of five honorary doctorates, Highway has shaped the development of aboriginal theatre in both Canada and around the world. He is clearly one of Canada's foremost aboriginal and creative voices.
