Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

Dorothy Faris has been President of the Annie A. Bond Guild at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital for thirty years. The Guild raises funds to provide various items for children who are seriously and terminally ill, many of whom are far from home and family. It provides pajamas, slippers, blankets and caps for cancer patients, finger puppets, dolls, books, a playroom, a music therapy program and a rest room for families. Under the direction of Mrs. McClintock Faris, volunteers work year-round sewing and knitting, while she solicits donations of materials and encourages others to help care for sick children.
