Peter Deacon, Gloucester, Ontario
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

For more than 15 years, Peter Deacon provided transportation to the members of the Letson Hall Chorus, most of whom were blind, when they attended practices and concerts. With great consideration, he helped them with their belongings and assisted with the group's social functions. While he was a volunteer driver with the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, many seniors and disabled persons also relied on his dependable services. His courtesy and dedication were appreciated by all those he helped.
