SCIC has announced its Global Citizens Award recipients for 2007. The citizens will be honoured at gala events in Saskatoon and Regina (see the ActUp events calendar). They are:
Eddie Mwunvaneza
Forced to flee Rwanda as an infant, Eddie had just finished graduate studies in Canada when the genocide broke out, killing 800,000 Rwandans in 100 days, including dozens of his family members. He has devoted much of the past 10 years to supporting Rwanda's reconstruction, through vital peace building and reconciliation work.
Craig Lenz
As a representative of the Wheelchair Foundation of Canada, Craig helped organize a consignment of wheelchairs to Mexico in March 2006. This winter he was part of Team Rwanda, raising money and delivering wheelchairs where hundreds of thousands of people are immobilized and excluded.
Ryan Meili
From his student days to the start of a promising career in family medicine, Ryan has concerned himself with improving health around the world - with a focus on addressing disparities in wealth and power.
Louise Bitz
Throughout her years of teaching, Louise has been passionate about social justice. As Chaplain and teacher at Holy Cross High, she has made a significant impact on the lives of the students.
