As you know, this blog has been taken over for the past several weeks by a series of profiles on great people from the Edmonton area.

It’s been very well received, and is definitely something I’ll consider doing again next year with a new class of do gooders. Getting to interview these folks was a highlight of my summer, and I’m extremely grateful to each of them for participating.

I hope their stories and their insights have been helpful to you in your own do gooding. I hope you’ve been inspired in some way, or enabled to see your efforts in a different light. I certainly have been.

That being said, I know that this is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There are many more people doing amazing things out there, many of whom will be joining me for a semi-private event this weekend.

(By the way – the afterparty is open to the public. Get a ticket and come on down if you’d like to mingle with some truly awesome Edmonton folks).

This project has merely whetted my appetite for engaging with people doing good works; digging into the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of what they’re doing.

To the do gooders of the world: I can’t wait to meet you, but be prepared, because (in the words of one of this year’s profilees) I do ask tough questions.
