She was also recognized for the work she does for caregivers in the local Yarmouth area, including co-facilitating caregiver support groups.
“What started with a meeting around a kitchen table in Yarmouth County a couple of decades ago evolved into a worldwide organization and the woman who got the ball rolling has been recognized with a national award from VON Canada.
