This year’s individual Equity and Diversity Award was shared between two deserving recipients in the Transit Services Department. Kathy Riley played an instrumental role in the development of OC Transpo’s Co-operative Seating Campaign, the Travel Training Program and the Community Bus Pass Program while Peter Paquette displayed leadership in developing an exceptional training program entitled “Learning My Way”.
