Community Champion Award

 

On November 21, 2008, Margaret MacKinnon was presented with a Community Champion Award by the Rotary Club of Acton for her volunteer work with the Canadian Cancer Society co-ordinating rides for Acton cancer patients to their treatments. 

It would not have been possible without  the support of the wonderful drivers who have assisted her over the past eight years.
