Top 7 Over 70
When Calgary's Top 7 Over 70 Awards were announced last fall, everything was low-key because of the pandemic. In May 2022, the gala awards dinner was finally held, and I had the opportunity to meet my fellow honourees and learn about the significance of their contributions. It is very humbling to be in this group and look forward to following the impact of their work in the future.
