Over the year, CTV Ottawa's Kimothy Walker has been profiling some of the city's most Amazing People including our own Peggy Taillon. 

Prior to CCSD, Peggy served as the Senior Vice-President at The Ottawa Hospital but walked away from her position and spent over a year in Kenya to adopt her son as a single parent. Her successful efforts resulted in change of Kenyan laws for her to do so. She has since founded the HERA Mission of Canada which undertakes many development projects empowering women and children in Western Kenya.

On Saturday October 27th, Peggy, along with 50 other Amazing People, will be honoured at the Amazing People Gala held at the Ottawa Convention Center where the winner of "CTV Amazing Person of the Year" as well as the "CTV's Viewers' Choice Award" will be announced.

Kimothy's profile of Peggy and her story is available to view at CTV's site.  You can also vote for Peggy for CTV's Amazing Person Viewer's Choice Award. (voting ends at midnight, Monday October 22nd)

We here at the CCSD are extremely proud of Peggy and we hope you will watch her story, as well as those of other Amazing People. Help recognize Peggy's efforts and vote.
