CALL FOR CHANGE - FRANCESCO YATES

TELUS WE DAY

“I believe the CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside… Give them a sense of pride.” A legend once sang that (Whitney Houston, 1984). It rings true then and it still rings true now. Do you believe that the children are our future? If you do, then you’ll be very excited about this new initiative that draws on the power of the WE , of all of us together, in helping engage and empower the youth to harness their innovative ideas, make positive change and become community leaders, both locally and globally.

For the fourth consecutive year, TELUS is proud to help inspire young leaders and support positive social change as the national co-title partner of We Day. And this year, they are doing something a tad bit different and whole lot exciting!
