Tim Hortons Volunteer of the Month
Shannon K & her dog Senna - St. John Ambulance
April's Tim Hortons Volunteer of the Month Draw Winners are Shannon K & her dog Senna! The duo was nominated for our Volunteers of the Week program, on April 13th by St. John Ambulance, here’s a look back at Shannon & Senna's nomination:
“St. John Ambulance nominates Shannon K and her dog Senna for Volunteer of the Week. Shannon & Senna joined us in 2014. They took no time to start impacting the community. In 2016 Shannon had Senna "Child Evaluated". This opened up a lot more doors for this dynamic duo. Currently they attend Clairmont Youth Detox Centre, QEII Hospital, GPRC & provide back up at the Horizon Group Day Program in Sexsmith & Northern Addictions Centre. If that wasn’t enough in 2016 Shannon is no shortage of what this amazing team does. We are very lucky to have Shannon and her dog Senna volunteering with St. John Ambulance, thanks for everything you do!!“
Congratulations Shannon & Senna!
The staff and board of the GPVSB would like to thank our sponsor Tim Hortons for helping us fuel the volunteers of Grande Prairie.
