The James McGregor Stewart Society is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2021 award of $1000 is Hope McInnis, a 12th grader from Glace Bay. The seventh recipient, Hope is the youngest awardee and represents a generational shift in the notion of 'disability'; An athlete, a leader, a student, a family member, Hope is self-reliant and strives for greatness. "She inspires me!" says one of her nonimators.
One wouldn't simply say Hope has 'overcome' her disability. She has thrived on it. She never stops - from her sledge hockey team to achievement in school to raising funds for the food bank, she's a going concern! Next year, Hope is enrolling at CBU and is interested in Psychology. Hope was chosen from a highly competitive field of candidates.
Hope follows a distinguished line of awardees.
Hope's award will be presented on June 30, Stewart's birthday. The Award was established by friends of the Society through the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia, an organization that supports philanthropy across the province.
