Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Board of Directors, our
volunteers and the hundreds of Metro families
impacted positively by our programs,
congratulations to our 2013 Inspire Award
recipients.
Big Brothers Big Sisters plays a profound role in our community, and we are
not a community without some challenges. But our mentors help our ‘Littles’
navigate these challenges. They are more than guides, more that friends …
our ‘Bigs’ are often the difference-makers in the lives of hundreds of our
city’s young people. Too often, without these mentoring relationships,
outcomes are less sure. But together, these kids stay in school, they go on to
post-secondary education, they volunteer more, respect their communities
and families more. These outcomes result in stronger, healthier
neighbourhoods and a brighter future for our community. We’ve got the
numbers to prove it.
Our 2013 Inspire Award recipients embody these same values. Like our
volunteer “Bigs”, they lead by example. They are leaders in their respective
fields, who make a difference in the lives of so many people each and every
day, without the expectation of recognition. Well too bad, tonight they’re
getting some.
These leaders go above and beyond the call of duty and we are thrilled to be
able to honour them for their contributions.
Chris Lydon
Chair, Board of Directors, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Halifax

Inspiring our community.
Big Brothers Big Sisters recognizes that mentoring takes places
across our community in many ways beyond our programs.
Business leaders, people in uniform, teachers, coaches, community
elders, neighbours, artists, family members, athletes, people from any
walk of life can be amazing mentors who inspire others to achieve
their goals.
Our Inspire Awards celebrate those people. We encourage
you to take a few moments to read about our 2013 Inspire
Award recipients on the following pages. You will be inspired!

Inspire Community Spirit
Paula Gallagher
Award Patron, Atlantic Lottery Corporation
Paula Gallagher is a consulting partner in the
Halifax office of Deloitte and leads Deloitte’s
public sector practice for Atlantic Canada.
She is active in the local community, having
recently completed her term as Chair of the
Board, Halifax Chamber of Commerce. She
continues to sit on the Board as past Chair. She
is also Honorary Chair of the Board of the ALS
Society of NS and actively supports that
organization in many ways. Most recently,
Paula and 19 colleagues raised over $24,000
for the ALS Society of NS by cycling the Cabot
Trail. She is a strong supporter of women and women’s issues and has spoken
to several audiences about the importance of gender diversity in public and
private sector organizations.
Paula is a strong supporter of community activities within the Deloitte family.
She is a past Chair of the United Way campaign; an active leader in the firm’s
Impact Day, where all 8,000 partners and staff of the Canadian firm give back
to their community; and she is part of a national team exploring how to bring
Social Impact Bonds to Canada. She strongly encourages everyone at Deloitte
to give back to their community in a way that matters to them.
Paula identifies having many mentors over the course of her career – some
formal, many informal. She considers two key people to be at the top of this
list. Her husband, Miles, has been her strongest supporter, sounding board,
and sometimes giver-of-advice, helping her navigate the ups and downs with
a sense of clarity and often, humour. Paula also credits a long-term colleague
as being an important mentor for her. Together, they have grown their
careers based on a mutual trust and respect. In the corporate world where
some would consider them “competitors”, nothing could be further from the
truth.

Inspire Imagination
Wendy Lill
Award Patron, Nova Scotia Power
Playwright and former politician, Wendy Lill,
has written extensively for radio, magazines,
film, and television. Her work has resulted in
two ACTRA awards, a Golden Sheaf award (for
her film Ikwe), a New York Festivals Radio
Program and Promotion Award in 2011
(Backbencher) and four nominations for the
Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama
(The Occupation of Heather Rose, All Fall
Down, The Glace Bay Miners’ Museum, and
Corker) Chimera, her first play since leaving
politics premiered at the Tarragon Theatre.
She created and was head writer for the award winning CBC Radio Series
Backbencher from 2009 to 2011.
Wendy was born in Vancouver and grew up in London, Ontario. She
completed a BA in political science at Toronto’s York University. She lived in
Winnipeg for a period and during this time began writing plays and developed
a productive association with Prairie Theatre Exchange and its artistic director,
Kim McCaw. In 1988, Wendy moved to Dartmouth and continued to write for
theatre which lead to her becoming a co-founder of the Eastern Front Theatre
Company. In 1997, Wendy was elected as a Member of Parliament (NDP) for
Dartmouth, and re-elected in 2000 for a second term.
Wendy credits two important women in her life who truly nurtured and
inspired her imagination. Mary Vingoe, Artistic Director and mentor for many
of Wendy’s plays, always challenged her to go further, take the difficult turns,
and dig deeper into a story. Alexa McDonough nudged Wendy toward politics
and was an inspiring mentor because of her tenacity and courage. Alexa
energized Wendy’s imagination and provided a model of exemplary public
service. When reflecting on the value of these important mentors, Wendy
says, “Mary and Alexa; I can't imagine where I would be or who I would be
without them!”

Inspire Leadership
Dr. Gerry Johnston
Award Patron, Scotiabank
Dr. Gerry Johnston is Associate Dean
(Research) in the Faculty of Medicine and
Professor in the Department of Microbiology
& Immunology within the Faculty of Medicine
at Dalhousie University. Well recognized for
his cancer research and collaborative genetics
program, Dr. Johnston has spent his career
fostering important research initiatives as a
member, and Past President of the National
Cancer Institute of Canada.
Though highly lauded academically, Dr.
Johnston remains humbled and honoured by
recognition from his community. He considers himself fortunate to have had
(and continues to have) a long list of individuals to whom he can look for
guidance through example.
As a postdoctoral fellow in the early 1970s, Dr. Johnston worked in the
Department of Genetics at the University of Washington in Seattle with a
young and talented investigator, Lee Hartwell. (Lee went on to receive a
Nobel Prize in 2001). The then head and founder of that department was Dr.
Herschel Roman, an international research star in his own right, but someone
who also recognized talented individuals and supported them in their career
development.
Dr. Johnston remembers, that although Dr. Roman had responsibility for a
large department with many researchers, he took time to get to know all of
the postdoctoral fellows. Witnessing his meaningful interest and thoughtful
guidance instructed Dr. Johnston on the ways of true leadership and
mentoring.
Reflecting on mentors and leadership Dr. Johnston says, “One thing that has
been a constant in my observations of effective leadership is that true leaders
are not focused on themselves, but rather those who work with them. For me,
I have come to see effective leadership as identifying talented individuals,
providing them with the resources they need and supporting them to develop
their own style and skills. Anything that I may have accomplished is because
others in my environment have succeeded.”

Inspire Learning
Hope Swinimer
Award Patron, Enterprise Holdings
Well known in both veterinarian communities
and wildlife rehabilitation, Hope Swinimer is
the Founder and Director of the Hope for
Wildlife Society and Nova Scotia’s only
veterinary hospital completely dedicated to
the care of wildlife from her home in Seaforth,
NS. She also owns and operates the Homeward
Bound City Pound in Dartmouth.
In her work in the veterinary community, she
was the first Nova Scotian to become a
Certified Veterinary Practice Manager. Hope
sits as a Board member of the Metro Animal Emergency Hospital and belongs
to both the Certified Veterinarian Practice Manager Association and the
Veterinarian Hospital Managers Association.
In 1997, she founded The Eastern Shore Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation
Service, now the Hope for Wildlife Society, Nova Scotia's first private wildlife
rehabilitation organization. In addition to ongoing learning through advanced
courses in wildlife, Hope has visited rehabilitation facilities around the world,
bringing valuable knowledge to Hope for Wildlife.
Hope has received Canadian and international recognition for her work in
wildlife rehabilitation and education, including the Roland Michener
Conservation Award from the Canadian Wildlife Federation, the Colin Stewart
Conservation Award, and the Shining World Compassion Award. The fourth
season of a television series about the Hope for Wildlife Society was recently
released and is aired across Canada and Europe and in countries as far away
as Thailand. A book about her work released in 2011 reached bestseller
status and was a finalist for the 2012 Evelyn Richardson Memorial Prize.
Hope says her sister-in-law Seata (whom she met as a young girl) had a huge
impact on how she perceives the world today. Originally from Russia, Seata
would tell Hope stories of life under communist rule and how lucky we are to
live in North America. This perspective stuck with Hope throughout her life,
and has encouraged her life’s work to create a legacy of positive action.

Inspire Public Service
Diana Whalen, MLA
Award Patron, Alexander Keith’s
Diana Whalen has served as a Member of the
Legislative Assembly for over ten years. First
elected in 2003 in Halifax Clayton Park, she ran
in the most recent election in the new riding
of Clayton Park West. She holds a Master of
Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts
from Dalhousie, as is a Certified Management
Accountant.
Diana is community focused and committed to
making a difference. She has served on the
Boards for Neptune Theatre, the Centennial
Rink Commission, and the Halifax Library. Ten years ago she helped found the
Mainland North Volunteer Recognition Committee and is currently a member
of the Halifax North West Trails Association and the Bella Rose Theatre. In the
late 1990s she founded a community action group dedicated to seeing a new
school built in Clayton Park West (Park West School).
Since her election as MLA, Diana has championed the fight to preserve the
Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area, which culminated in the
province protecting over 3000 acres of wilderness adjacent to Bayers Lake
Business Park (April 2009). The fast growing area needed improved
recreation, and Diana has worked with the people of her riding to lobby HRM
and the province. The Canada Games Centre is the realization of that effort.
In 2009, Diana was honoured by the Canadian Progress Club Halifax
Cornwallis with a Women of Distinction Award in the category of Public
Affairs and Communications for her work in the community.
Diana points to her mother, Mary Hudson, as an important role model and
mentor. Mary was a trailblazer for women in her own right when she
embarked on a career as an investment advisor in 1968. Her career influenced
Diana’s decision to study business at university, and it was her mother who
encouraged her to pursue a career in politics. Diana says, “I have learned the
importance of having a great mentor which has helped me to carry on the
tradition of encouraging others to follow their dreams.“

Constable Donald Jenkins
In honour of Private Nathan Smith
Award Patron, Insurance Bureau of Canada
Constable Donald Jenkins, a member of the
Halifax Regional Police for 29 years, is known
by co-workers, colleagues and members of the
community as an engaged, energetic and
enthusiastic individual who helps to bring out
the best in others.
As a member of the Community Relations and
Crime Prevention Team for the past 12 years
he and his colleagues work to bolster
community relations and public safety,
working on such initiatives as Police Week,
Cops ‘n Kids Camp, Pixels For Pistols Gun
Amnesty, CopShop, Law Enforcement Torch Run, a variety of personal safety
campaigns and many other community-based initiatives. He is also known as
someone who does extensive volunteer work in the community, bringing
special energy and enthusiasm to everything he does.
Constable Jenkins is well-regarded by his peers, having received the
Employees’ Choice Award at the Department’s Annual Award Night earlier
this year. In 2009, he and 3 colleagues from the Community Relations and
Crime Prevention team shared the honour of being named Police Officer of
the Year and in 2008 he was awarded the Department’s Community
Contribution Award.
Reflecting on mentors in his life, Constable Jenkins says, “Growing up I had the
finest kind of mentor, my father, who for 35 years served his country in the
Royal Canadian Signals. Dad wore his "jump wings" and medals with great
pride, and rightly so, as all who selflessly serve their country should.”
Unable to attend the INSPIRE Awards presentation because he is out of the
country, he sent the following message: “I am proud and privileged to be a
member of the HRP team, having the good fortune of serving the citizens of
Halifax as a Community Relations Officer. The tragic circumstances that
resulted in the naming of this award sadden me. For my name to appear
below Nathan’s is humbling and I cannot help but feel so very small after
reading the tributes to him. It is an honour to be the recipient of this award.”
