As the premier of British Columbia and three-term mayor of Vancouver, Mike Harcourt helped Canada's westernmost province win its reputation as one of the most livable places in the world. His leadership was instrumental in transforming the way Canadians looked at their cities. In 2005, he received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service.
