It’s here! Our annual celebration of 50+ talented, ambitious and driven Canadian millennials with cool jobs across 10 categories—including politics, art, media and activism—is live at flare.com/howimadeit. (Oh, and the gorgeous illustration? That’s the work of #HowIMadeIt2018 honouree Chief Lady Bird.)
