Nova Scotian woman's award acceptance "overshadowed" by lack of accessibility at ceremony
Description
The 50th Annual Nova Scotia Volunteer Awards took place last week. The recognition ceremony took place at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre in Truro. Among those being recognized for their service was Nicole McDonald. She had received an HRM Municipal Award back in April, and had been invited to represent the Central Region at the Provincial Ceremony last week in Truro. In a social media post on September 24th, Nicole wrote that while she was grateful to accept a Provincial Volunteer Award...the feeling of gratitude has been "overshadowed by inaccessibility and the feeling of not being as important as the other award winners." Nicole spoke with Mainstreet host, Jeff Douglas today and we have also reached out to the Provincial Volunteer Awards for comment.
