An Edmonton woman who created No Stone Left Alone is humbled and honoured to be awarded with the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Decoration.
No Stone Left Alone, founded in 2011 by Maureen Bianchini-Purvis, honours Canadian veterans and educates children by placing poppies on headstones each November. She said she got the call from the Governor General’s office back in January and nearly drove off the road after hearing the news.
