Congratulations Hallie!

For many years, former Nursing Sister Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret) Hallie Sloan has been a tireless force and inspiration within the Nursing Sisters' Association of Canada. She volunteers at the Perley Rideau Veterans Health Centre, is a familiar face at many commemorative events, and always welcomes the chance to share her memories with young people.

In 2004, the Governor General announced that Hallie had been named a Member of the Order of Canada. Last year, Hallie was presented with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation. This award honours those who have made a special contribution to the well-being or remembrance of veterans.
