Beacher Helen Hatzis has been recognized by Governor General David Johnston for her generosity and volunteerism. Over the past 20 years, she has taken part in the Big Sister Big Brother program, helped found the Myelin Project of Canada, volunteered for nine years with Youth Bocce, and four years ago founded Aloha Toronto, which helps people with autism experience surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Her daughter Bella, 10, is carrying on the tradition – she has held annual bake sales to help build schools through Free the Children. The Caring Canadian Award was given to Hatzis during a ceremony in March.
