home - finalists
During the spring of 2007, over 200 nominations of young Christian leaders from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John's, Newfoundland were submitted for the 35 Under 35 National Recognition Project. The hundreds and hundreds of pages of detailed background data, deeply affirming words and powerful stories overwhelmingly testify to the high calibre of dynamic young leaders God is raising up across Canada.
While each nominated leader will receive an official certificate of nomination, we also encourage each nominated leader to personally accept and receive the heartfelt encouragement, personal affirmation and deep appreciation shared through the nomination process. It has been clearly evident that every nominated leader demonstrates leadership that inspires, challenges and makes a significant difference.
God is indeed raising up a cadre of dynamic young leaders across Canada! In the fall of 2007, we will be profiling each of the 35 finalists in much more detail through a special edition nationwide magazine produced by ChristianWeek. In the meantime, we are pleased to briefly introduce you to the 35 finalists of the 35 Under 35 National Recognition Project...
