Gabrielle (Gabe) Simpson - 2019 Elsie Yanik Recipient
Past Provincial President, June Fuller (right) presented the Elsie Yanik award to Gabrielle Simpson (left) at the 2019 ABMK Convention. Gabe exemplifies the League’s motto, “For God and Canada” through her service to St. Peter’s CWL and the Canadian military. She and husband, Sam, work together to assist soldiers suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder. Gabe is also Secretary-Treasurer for the Calgary Regional Committee and a member of the 2019 National Convention Planning Committee. This Provincial award is a top honor presented to a member of Alberta Mackenzie who exemplifies leadership, ministry and service in an area of need in her parish or community. The award was initiated in 1997 to commemorate Elsie Yanik (Fort Chipewyan) for her dedication to church and community. |
