Welcome to The Legacy Builders — a special feature series I’ve created as Co-Editor of BE Magazine’s Work section. I launched this series to spotlight women who are doing more than showing up for a job — they’re leading with conviction, building with purpose, and using their work to leave something that lasts.

Imagine seeing Canada through fresh eyes a few decades ago. The stories people told about this country were remarkably consistent. Canada was where people believed opportunity existed. Great healthcare. Great education. Strong banking. A high standard of living. Canada was seen worldwide as one of the best countries in the world to live in.

Today, those stories seem harder to find. The news headlines over the past several years have grown increasingly bleak. Many things aren't working, and there are real problems that deserve honesty. But is continually pointing fingers and amplifying what's broken actually moving us forward?
