Arthur C. Clarke once said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” His words, intended to celebrate the power and positive contributions of technology, are fitting to describe the positive, life-changing impacts that technology has had in Canada. While some still complain about technological advances, Canadians are embracing all that technology has to offer and are adapting to both the technology and the necessary changes it requires in education, health care, tourism and hospitality and job skills training for a robust economy. The “open to change” mindset of Canadians will undoubtedly serve our young country well in the future, as we explore our potential and poise ourselves to become leaders and learners
