2016 Burnaby Local Hero
Awards
Presenters: His Worship, Mayor
Derek Corrigan and
Councillor Nick Volkow, Chair, Social Planning
Committee
Award
Recipients:
Khalid Boudreau, Hazel Caley, Brenda Felker,
Annette Vowles

His Worship, Mayor Derek R.
Corrigan
and Councillor N. Volkow, Chair of the Social Planning Committee,
presented the 2016 Local Hero awards to citizens in recognition of their
outstanding contributions to the community’s well-being.
Councillor Volkow provided
a brief history of the awards:
“Local Heroes are people who have made
outstanding contributions to our community’s well-being. This year, four
individuals will be recognized for their significant accomplishments and the
positive impacts they have made on the city and citizens of Burnaby.
2016 marks the 20th year the City has recognized its Local Heroes.
The total number of Local Heroes in Burnaby, including the people being
recognized this evening, now stands at 255. Local Heroes represent an
impressive cross-section of Burnaby citizens.
At this time, I would like
to thank our schools, libraries, recreation centres and community agencies for
helping to spread the word about the program. I’d also like to extend a special
thank you to the people who took the time and initiative to put together
nomination submissions this year. Without the efforts of the nominators, the
Local Heroes Award program would not be the success that it is today.”
His Worship, Mayor Derek R.
Corrigan and Councillor Volkow presented a Certificate of Recognition to each
of the following four Local Heroes:
Khalid Boudreau
Khalid has been active in
his community for most of his adolescence. Four years ago, Khalid joined the
Burnaby District UN Connections Club, a network of Burnaby secondary students
who work towards raising awareness and discussing solutions to global issues
such as human rights and the rights of the child. The network meets in a UN
style forum and participates in monthly teleconferences with similar networks
across the globe. In his role as leader of the club, he chairs the meetings and
trains newer members in the protocols of Model UN debate. Under his leadership,
many Burnaby youth have been inspired to join and actively participate in the
club. He
mentors youth in Burnaby to become more aware of global issues and to be
engaged and informed citizens of Burnaby. Khalid has also volunteered for five
years with Spare the Cold Collective Society, a Burnaby-based charity that provides backpacks full of
necessities and comfort items to street-entrenched and/or unstable housed
people during the Christmas season. Khalid has assisted with collecting the needed donations
and supplies and putting together the packages for the Society. As Khalid’s
nominators note: “Khalid is a definite leader and his community and
school-based work collide to create amazing motivation and inspiration…and he
deserves recognition as a leader in the community.”
Hazel Caley
For fifteen years, Hazel
has been an active volunteer serving Burnaby’s seniors and new parents through
her involvement with Citizen Support Services. Hazel has taken on a variety of
roles – from calling in weekly grocery orders for isolated seniors to being the
team captain of a group of volunteer shoppers and organizing the shopping
trips. She also shares her time as a weekly volunteer visitor to isolated
seniors and helps with planned seniors’ outings. She has further helped with a
program to assist new mothers with the care of their new infants. Additional
volunteer work includes fundraising for BC Cancer Society, as well as ushering
at the James Cowan Theatre, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival and the
Rhododendron Festival. As Hazel’s nominators write: “Hazel…brings a truly
compassionate, diligent, responsible ethic to her volunteering. [She] has
driven in the snow to deliver groceries when the paid contractor couldn’t, and
has taken seniors to hospital appointments at the last minute. Hazel is that ‘GO
TO’ volunteer who inspires the other volunteers on her team.”
Brenda Felker
Brenda has been an active
volunteer in Burnaby for many years, seeking to enrich the lives of seniors in
the community. She serves on the board of the Bonsor 55+ Society, which aims to
maintain, improve and promote quality leisure lifestyles for adults aged 55+ in
Burnaby. She is a natural choice for the Society’s liaison to other seniors
support groups in Burnaby due to her active involvement with many of them.
Since its inception in 2007, Brenda has volunteered with the Voices of Burnaby
Seniors, assisting with its advocacy efforts, organizing events and recruiting
participants. She is also a board member, and current President, of the New
Vista Society where she led the board in developing a concept to build a new
care home on site. Between 1990 and 2001, Brenda was also active on two
municipal committees; the Advisory Planning Commission and the Environment and
Waste Management Committee. As Brenda’s nominators describe: “It is hard to
think of how anyone could make a greater impact in the community and lives of
the citizens of Burnaby than Brenda. She is very deserving of a Burnaby Local
Hero Award because of her outstanding long-term contribution to community
well-being and the impact her service continues to make.”
Annette Vowles (unable to be present)
For over two decades,
Annette has been an active volunteer with the George Derby Volunteer Society,
where she contributes in diverse ways. Besides assisting residents at George
Derby Centre, Annette is the volunteer bookkeeper for the Society. She has also
served as the Gift Shop shopper, assisting with stocking the gift shop and
ensuring that items requested by George Derby residents are regularly stocked.
She often helps residents with shopping orders and delivers purchases to
residents’ rooms. Annette also contributes to event planning at the Centre. She
assists staff with planning birthday celebrations for residents, as well as
other events, such as Remembrance Day ceremonies. During special events,
Annette leads a team of volunteers in ushering attendees to their seats,
providing special assistance to those using wheelchairs or walkers. Annette
also assists with clerical duties related to special events as needed. As
Annette’s nominators describe: “We like to think of Annette as our Mighty
Mouse. She has great attention to detail, humble, quiet, doesn’t ask for
attention; she has her own drive and is 110% committed.”
