To celebrate Canada’s remarkable past and looking to its bright future, RBC has launched its Canada 150 initiative by giving thousands of young Canadians $150 with one simple request: use the money to help communities prosper. The Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth, RBC Youth Empowerment program student, Peace Emmanuel, was selected as a winner of this accolade for her act of kindness of buying supplies for children living in a shelter for homeless families. Peace has her portrait showcased on the side of RBC Bank building in Vancouver. The #Make150Count campaign will celebrate 150 extraordinary acts of kindness that are generated across Canada as selected by Royal Bank of Canada.
