Isabell E. Osborne, Edmonton Alberta
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Isabell Osborne has given half a century of service to the Anglican Church Women's Auxiliary. For just as long, she has tutored students and has assisted immigrants and others to improve their reading skills. She raised funds for the United Way, and worked at a food bank for six years. She has volunteered at various hospitals and, since 1992, has helped out at the Dickinsfield Extended Care Centre. She writes letters on behalf of patients and provides transportation to church. She also sits with patients who are dying and are without family. For residents as well as staff, Mrs. Osborne is a loving and committed person who can be counted on.
