Major (Retd) William David Wendell Lewis, C.D., Nepean, Ontario
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Bill Lewis joined the Kiwanis Club of Nepean in 1989, and has served on its board and as its president. A special interest of his has been the Youville Centre, which assists young single mothers and their children to become contributing members of society. He has helped provide furniture, clothing, toys and appliances and has also become someone to whom the Centre's clients turn for advice and support. For years, he has volunteered in a literacy program at a neighbourhood school with many children from low-income families. Not only does he read to the children but he also finds clothing for them and repairs their broken toys. Major Lewis has given kind and loving support for many years to those in need in his community.
