The final recipient to take the stage was Jane Devji, receiving the Ed Helfrich Long Service award.
Referred to by her staff as Mrs. D, Jane has delivered over 40 years of service in health and long-term care. She is currently the administrator of Delta View Habilitation & Life Enrichment Centre and a wonderful inspiration to the staff, residents and their families.
Although Jane showed a humble demeanor as she thanked her colleagues and family for the award, those that work with her are well aware of here relentless drive and ambition. Jane has supported the BC Alzheimer’s Society by climbing one of the world’s tallest mountains – Mt. Killimanjaro – not once, but several times.
At 72 years old, Jane impressively made her 3rd ascent this past October.
