Winonah (Nonah) Pite, Mill Bay, British Columbia
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
For twenty years, Nonah Pite has facilitated a weekly self-help support group for parents in crisis. Combined with her love of children, her committed, nurturing, respectful and non-judgmental manner has had a positive impact on parents who have felt overwhelmed and who, because of their life circumstances, are having difficulty parenting. She has worked hard to promote the program in her community, and has offered support and guidance to other facilitators and volunteers. In addition, Mrs. Pite is involved in her church and served as a foster parent for many years.
