Pat Carney Receives Governors' Award
Senator Pat Carney of B.C. received the inaugural Governors’ Award from the Heritage Canada Foundation on Parliament Hill on November 20, 2008. The award honoured Ms. Carney’s decade-long campaign which led to the passage of Bill S-215, An Act to Protect Heritage Lighthouses, earlier this year. Reintroducing the Bill in 2006, she saw it through even after her retirement from the Senate last January. Ms. Carney is now working on the implementation of the legislation and creation of a national lighthouse network. For more information contact Carolyn Quinn: cquinn@heritagecanada.org
