SPIRIT OF CARING AWARD: Congratulations to Gerald Davies, winner of the 2025 Spirit of Caring Award!

The Spirit of Caring Award recognizes one individual for their impact in the community as a caring leader through commitment to volunteerism. Ideal candidates exhibit unique kindness and caring for others outside of the scope of their work environment.

From the nominators: Gerry has instilled confidence, pride and the desire to do better in hundreds if not thousands through his guidance. He is a prime example of how retirement does not mean stopping. He buzzes around everyone, continuing to stay busy and volunteers his time, money and expertise.
