A single mom of two in Salmon Arm won a new ride that will change her life for the better.
Canoe resident Katy Ackerman was nominated for the prize, awarded for the third year by Kal Tire, Braby Motors, Fix Auto Collision and SASCU Financial Group.
“It couldn’t go to a better person,” Kathy Forsyth, Ackerman's nominator and friend, said in a media release. “She’s amazingly kind, compassionate, and generous, even though she herself doesn’t have much.”
Ackerman and her children Ella, 4, and Emery, 2, were presented with a refurbished 2015 Chrysler 200 including winter and summer tires, $1,500 in vehicle insurance, plus fuel cards and other gifts, Dec. 18.
