A speech from volunteer – and paNOW reporter – James Bowler covered the value of finding time to give back by mentoring a child.

The event’s main speaker, former Roughrider Don Narcisse, had a big brother growing up.

Narcisse teared up when speaking about his recent induction into the CFL Hall of Fame.

He explained how difficult it was to share the news about the induction with his mother, who had dementia.

However, she didn’t get the chance to see Narcisse receive the honour because she passed away.

She had a lot of belief in Narcisse and kept him positive even when he was struggling in his football career, Narcisse said, and he’d wanted to share his success with his mother.

Big Sister of the Year went to Courtney Wendelborg.

Since Wendelborg took on her little sister in June of 2013, they’ve enjoyed visiting the lake, swimming, rock climbing, and going to Raiders games. ‘Little’ Faith calls Wendelborg “awesome and the best big ever.”

The Prince Albert Optimist Club won the honour of service club volunteer of the year. The club donates space for BBBS activities, volunteer for BBBS, and help with 900 CKBI’s weekly radio bingo.
