"Dare to Dream"

At the Hamilton Literacy Council's Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2009, Valerie Sadler was awarded the 2009 Kim Brooks Memorial Award. This award was established in honour of Kim Brooks who personified tireless dedication to literacy and lifelong learning. This award recognizes exceptional dedication and contributions to the cause of literacy. The Hamilton Literacy Council's Board of Directors believe that Val Sadler is the perfect choice for this year's award as "she believes in the importance of literacy and lifelong learning and continually gives back to her community in various capacities."
