Ansley awarded top civilian honour from Lions International President - May 16, 2019
The honours and recognition just keep coming for Blyth’s Mikayla Ansley and her world’s-best Lions Club Peace Essay. Earlier this month at the Multiple District A convention in Walkerton, former Lions International President Judge Brian Stevenson of Calgary presented Blyth Lion John Stewart, left, with the International President’s Certificate of Appreciation from International President Gudrun Yngvadottir of Iceland. It is the highest honour the International President can present to a non-Lions Club member. Stewart and Blyth Youth Opportunities Chair Shawn Loughlin presented the award to Ansley on Monday night.
