Thunder Bay Guider Receives Governor-General's Award
This article mentions this 40-year volunteer with GGC receiving a "Caring Canadian Award".
"A local woman has been named the recipient of a prestigious Governor General's award. Susan Little will receive one of twenty three 'Caring Canadian Awards' for her many years of volunteer service. The mother of eight has worked with the Girl Guides of Canada for over forty years, along with the local Navy League Cadets and the Thunder Bay Naval Association. Little found out she had been nominated by her son, when she received a letter in the mail this past June. But she found out she was a winner just two days ago. Little will receive a framed certificate and a lapel pin during a luncheon in Toronto next month."
