100 Coins to 100 Canadians is a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Centennial initiative, recognizing Canadian citizens who demonstrate RCAF values through the presentation of a special centennial coin. 

Canadians who demonstrate behavior in the spirit of the RCAF, namely loyalty, integrity, courage, excellence, inclusion or accountability are eligible for the honour. As are those who are deemed worthy of recognition through the positive impact they have on their community.

The Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA) attended the 33rd Annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord meetings from October 21-23 in Arlington, VA, to reinforce its strong support for the North American agri-food trading system.

“The strength of CAFTA’s delegation underscores our firm commitment to the North American agri-food trading framework, particularly as we approach the 2026 CUSMA Review,” said CAFTA president Greg Northey. “With the U.S. Presidential election on the horizon, it is critical to hear directly from our U.S. and Mexican partners.”

Among the millions glued to their TV sets Tuesday night watching U.S. election results will be a group of people in Montreal with a particular connection to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris — her high school classmates. 

Kamala Harris lived in Canada

Long before she became an American vice-president and presidential candidate, Harris spent several years in Montreal and attended Westmount High School from 1978 to 1981.

While she doesn't talk much about that time, one of her former classmates believes her high school years helped shaped who she would become.
