Excerpts:
The 2010 Outstanding Calgary Seniors Awards recognized dozens of nominees in six categories, with one from each category receiving full honours.
Dalut Janmohamed won the general category for her work as a volunteer case manager with the Quality of Life Improvement Program, which aids families dealing with poverty and other life challenges.
She also has volunteered with the Taradale Co-op Food Bank Drive and helps students at Chris Akkerman School.
“This is to be a role model — spread the word and tell others: ‘You go for it’,” she says of the importance of these awards.
Janmohamed, whose husband, Sadrudin, was a nominee in the leadership category this year, says she enjoys being able to help others, such as a refugee family from Afghanistan she assisted through the Quality of Life program.
