Former Alberta MLA Shiraz Shariff: A Lifetime of Stories, Service & Lessons

What can a lifetime of experience teach you about what really matters? In this episode of Before We Forget, I sit down with Shiraz Shariff, former Alberta MLA for Calgary- McCall, to hear the stories behind his life. From his family’s journey from India to East Africa, growing up in Tanzania, and starting a new life in Canada, to public service, family, identity, change and happiness — Shiraz shares the experiences and life lessons that shaped him. Before We Forget preserves the stories, memories and wisdom of older generations so they can be passed on before they’re lost. If something in Shiraz’s story stays with you, share it in the comments. #BeforeWeForget #LifeLessons #ImmigrantStories #OralHistory #LifeStories
