This weekend Anita and I took a little time away from campaigning to go to London, Ontario, where I presented an award created in my honour. As always, it was very inspiring to meet with the vibrant young student leaders at the University of Western Ontario.

| Presenting The Jim Walden Leadership Award to Andrew Beach. |
Information about the award: The Jim Walden Leadership Award was established in 2001 on the occasion of Jim's retirement from the University Students' Council (USC). It was created to honour Jim's outstanding ten-year career with the USC. The ten Boards of Directors with whom Jim worked took the initiative to establish the award that is sponsored by the University Students' Council Alumni Chapter. The award is presented each year at Homecoming to a graduating student who has served the USC over at least three years but not in an executive capacity. The recipient will have shown leadership qualities and commitment to the mission of the University Students’ Council and is chosen by his/her peers, the outgoing Executive of the USC at the end of their term.
