The presentation occurred at the beginning of the police commissionmeeting, with a speech fromHonsberger about the hard work that McWaid does on her own time for the community. The list of her accomplishments in developing the community of Kentville was an impressive one that went on for some time before she was asked to accept her award. After the presentation, McWaid spoke about how much the award means to her. “I feel very honoured and overwhelmed in a way. I certainly didn’t expect to get a call from Fred Honsberger to receive an award like this. It was an amazing surprise. I feel very blessed to be able to work in a community I love.” McWaid plans to continue with her helping ways into the future. “I’m doing a lot of volunteering at the Kings County General Resource Centre right now as the chair of their board. I help out whenever I can to aid with their programs and assist their staff,” she said. “That’s my main focus right now.” As a thank you to Sergeant Mike Goss from Kentville Police Services for volunteering his time in their new video, Gates Insurance made a donation to a charity of his choice.
