Wendy Anderson, Tilston, Manitoba
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Wendy Anderson has given 21 years of dedicated service to the Melita and Area Ambulance Service. A registered nurse by profession, Ms. Anderson volunteered as an ambulance attendant in a community of about 3,500 residents, often working regular on-call shifts in the evening and on weekends. Despite working full-time at the Melita Hospital and raising a family, she has faithfully shared her knowledge and expertise with volunteer ambulance students and has assisted countless patients. Now retired, this community-minded individual is an active participant in her rural congregation, where she provides both spiritual and physical care to those in need.
