This award is the most prestigious honour of Warman’s Volunteer Appreciation Awards.

“Jennifer leads by example, treats everyone with respect, and quietly works behind the scenes to strengthen the community,” said Philipchuk. “Her reliability and integrity make her someone that others naturally trust and look up to.
Just before presenting the award, Philipchuk cited a glowing testimonial from Jennifer’s son, Josh Doucette, who stated: “Our mom is a role model to me and my sisters and to many others in Warman. Growing up, we have always known our mom as someone who helps others. Even when she is tired, she never says ‘no’ if someone needs help.”
