Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Bruce Knapp has organized several emergency relief efforts over the past few years. Shortly after Hurricane Andrew devastated Florida, he organized volunteers to collect supplies and deliver them. He later coordinated the collection of needed medical supplies for a remote community in Papua New Guinea. Mr. Knapp also initiated "Operation Noah," which sent five transport trucks of necessary items to help people in the flood-destroyed areas of Manitoba.
