Sue Stultz, Moncton, New Brunswick
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award

Sue Stultz is renowned for her dedication to the less fortunate in the Greater Moncton area. In 1991, Mrs. Stultz, affectionately called the "Turkey Lady", initiated "Sue's turkey drive", the annual Christmas fundraiser with the former Moncton Food Bank. It has since enabled 25 000 families to enjoy a feast for the holidays. In 2002, she established the Wishing Bottles Campaign, where plastic bottles are filled with pennies, which are then used to grant the wish of a sick child. A keen and energetic fundraiser, she supports many community events and organizations such as the Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation and numerous local schools.
