Linda West awarded 20th Order of Parry Sound

The 2020 Order of Parry Sound was awarded last night to Linda West, President of the Rotary Club of Parry Sound.

In Tuesday’s Council meeting, Mayor Jamie McGarvey named Ms.West as the 20th recipient of the order.

He also noted that this year saw the most amount of nominations to date for the order. 

According to McGarvey, efforts setting up the Rotary Club to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic last year earned West her nomination and is why she is receiving the 2020 order of Parry Sound.

In March, West urged the establishment of a Rotary COVID Response Committee, organizing and running a shopping and curbside pickup delivery service ensuring a safe, continuous supply of groceries to area residents.

She was also behind $14,000 in grants donated toward a tutoring program for those in high school students struggling with online learning in these covid times. 

Given COVID-19 restrictions in place, West will be sent the medallion and certificate awarded with the Order.
