Muffet McGowan-Buckley, Victoria, British Columbia
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Muffet McGowan-Buckley has a long history of outstanding effort and tireless work on behalf of youth. She volunteered with Scouts Canada for many years and became active in promoting the musical life of her parish as a choir member and choir mother for boys' choirs. Mrs. McGowan-Buckley has also been involved in the Air Cadets, sparking the formation of a Parents Auxiliary and helping to secure official recognition of young women as equal participants in the League. Thanks in part to her efforts, they benefit from the same training in leadership, citizenship, and specialized aeronautics as young male Cadets.
