“When I got the email, from, Her Honour’s office that she was looking to nominate me, at first I thought she was looking for me to nominate someone else. I read the email further and was really shocked honestly and overwhelmed. I understand that I’m being recognized with this honour just to due to a variety of works, whether it’s my time on city council or work in the business community or in the non-profit community where I try to give my time as much as possible to various causes and organizations here in Prince George and the North.” – Councillor Kyle Sampson
