Liz was honoured at a gala at The Drake Hotel in Toronto on June 10 2009. Liz was selected by a highly-respected panel of judges and from approximately 100 Canada-wide nominees.
Receiving the Outstanding Commitment to the Environment Award at the event was author and well-known environmentalist Maude Barlow, chairperson of the Council of Canadians who is the first person to be appointed special advisor on water issues to the President of the United Nations.
For every cause you have fought and every tree you have planted, thank you and congratulations from the Oakvillegreen Board and members!! This is well-deserved!
