An Honor And A Priviledge

November 7, 2008 saw me at Rideau Hall at the home of Governor General Michaelle Jean where six medals were presented in Commemoration of the Persons Case. The six recipients were awarded for their outstanding contributions to the advancement of Women in Canada.

It is a happy and exciting occasion for all of the recipients and their supportive family, friends and co-workers. Honorable Helena Guergis, Minister of Status of Women represented the government well and as always the Governor General brings a sincere and compassionate message to the recipients and those present.

I particularly enjoy Michaelle Jean's relaxed manner and hands on congratulations to each of the recipients. This year's award winners were Shelagh Day, Frances Ennis, Beverley Jacobs, Maureen McTeer, Mair Verthuy and Ben Barry.
