This year there were a few well-deserving recipients from The Pas who received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. One of them was Kerry Midford, who has been a volunteer with Girl Guides for over 30 years. Midford’s passion for volunteering with Girl Guides stemmed from her own youth, when she herself was in the program.
“I joined Girl Guides at the age of five, when I started out in the youth program as a spark,” said Midford. “Once I turned 18, I became a Guider, I volunteered with the Brownies, which is now Embers. Over the years, I have been a unit Guider, Cookie Chair, District Commissioner and now Area Commissioner.”
