TRURO, N.S. — Surprised but very pleased and honoured would summarize the reaction of the five Red Cross volunteers, recipients of Queen’s Platinum Jubilee ...
Demers was described as someone “dedicated” to her community in the citation read by Leier.
She said one of the great things about the Red Cross is they find a role for everyone, no matter the time they have to give, their experience or skill sets.Gloria Demers receiving her medal from Diane Wasson as MLA Larry Harrison and emcee for the event, Raye Leier, look on. Richard MacKenzieJust behind Demers in years of service was McNutt who is up to 17.
McNutt said she started by working with the equipment Red Cross lends to people in need but then quickly became involved in emergency management. In talking about joining the Red Cross as a volunteer, Murphy said it’s kind of a roundabout story that starts with him looking for ice skates. Murphy said his friend in Bridgewater was also recently presented with a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal and in his time volunteering he has “met a lot of really nice people.”Like McNutt, Bulk and Merrill have been part of the emergency management time and are almost into their 11th year now.
“He ensures accurate inventory is readily available and has organized and facilitated the delivery of emergency supplies to several responses across the province,” she said.
