Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on February 02, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Naheed Nenshi! From mastering hashtags before they were cool and tweeting your way into history as Calgary’s first Muslim mayor (and the very first in a major North American city!), you've certainly provided memorable moments worth celebrating. Your groundbreaking 2010 victory was proof that tweets really can change lives—and even election results.

Here's hoping this birthday you take some time away from retweeting civic news to enjoy cake, laughs, and perhaps composing another viral social media post—after all, nobody blends public service with clever online commentary quite like you. Happy birthday to our favorite trailblazer who continues making history one hashtag at a time!
