By Jeff Ward Stonewall resident Greg Shedden was honoured last week with the Governor General’s Award of the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers for his 15 years of service helping teach and inspire Winnipeg youth. Shedden was among eight recipi- ents receiving the same medal and 15 being honoured during a ceremony at the Government House in Winni- peg on Jan. 9. Lt.-Gov. Janice Filmon, on behalf of Gov. Gen. Julie Payette, presented the medals. Lt-Gov. Filmon spoke about each recipient’s work in making the world a better place and expressed her gratitude at the self- lessness of those being honoured. Shedden was nominated by two of his students from Sisler High School, Philip Kawalec and Aashna Bansal, because of his efforts to facilitate so- cial justice clubs at the school. For 15 years, Shedden helped run initia- tives like the anti-tobacco group and a Gay-Straight Alliance. Shedden said that being among those honoured was a surreal experience for him and Lt-Gov.
