The award’s 2011 finalists are lifelong volunteer Gordon Smith, from Go for Health Windsor Essex and Walter Hossli from Momentum, a community economic organization based in Calgary, Alberta. “Joyce’s leadership is very inspiring”, says Pat Small, Community Manager for 3M Canada. “ There are so many innovative approaches to improve the underlying factors that influence our health. Joyce’s ability to inspire others to work collaboratively on a shared vision was a key factor in creating change in her community.” The 2012 award recipient will be announced in the fall of 2012.
