Easter Seals Ontario will host its inaugural Ottawa Tribute Dinner honouring the Honourable Jim Flaherty, P.C., M.P., Minister of Finance. For the past seven years in Toronto and Port Elgin, we have recognized individuals who have demonstrated leadership in their industries, in their communities, and for their continued support of children and youth with physical disabilities. This year is no exception as our Chair of the Board, Duncan Hawthorne, President and CEO of Bruce Power, has chosen to pay tribute to the Minister for his outstanding service to the country, and more importantly, for the leadership role Mr. Flaherty has taken with respect to people living with disabilities.
