Congratulations to the winners of Our Canada's annual photo contest — choosing among such amazing entries wasn't easy! Here are the three winners, along with some others we felt worthy of special mention. Thanks to all who participated!

From helping families affected by physical disabilities and mental disorders to giving sexual abuse victims a voice, these Canadians are making an impact within their own communities and around the world.

These scrumptious coffee cakes are great to have on hand for company!
