What a huge honour to receive a City of Victoria Honorary Citizen Award today at the Victoria Conference Center with so many lovely and well-deserving people as:
Marika Albert, Mark Ashfield, Fiona Bramble, Diya Courty-Stephens, Denis Donnelly and Siobhan Robinsong, Terry Farmer, Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi, Alan Lowe, Rob Reid, Patti Stockton, and brother and sister team Rupert Yakelashek and Franny Ladell-Yakelashek.
Mayor Lisa Helps and councillor Charlayne Thornton-Joe led the official part of the program and it was great to see so many Victoria councillors there as well.
A big thank you to my nominators, the lovely Jack Barker and JennaMarie Tremblay. I was completely surprised when I found out they nominated me and blown away that I was among the recipients. And hugs and kudos to CreativelyUnited.org board member, Doreen Webb, for her continued support and all the volunteer contributions who make this world a better place.
