Peter Magee, Hudson, Que.
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

Peter Magee has worked in innovative ways to raise money for sick children for almost fifteen years. He began his fundraising career with a one-man dance-a-thon at which he danced non-stop for sixteen hours. He has since coordinated many events, including "Crazy Pete's" Family BBQ, to raise funds for the Montreal Children's Hospital and has performed the duty of hospital spokesman. Mr. Magee requests that proceeds from his fundraising events be used to buy special extras for the kids.
