Strongest mom (not physically) I would like to celebrate Amanda Fulford this Mother's Day. She is the mother to Eliana Yeshaya, who was such a wonderful blessing from the Lord. Though Amanda no longer gets to parent her little girl she is and has been an amazing mom! She is an example to me, always thanking and praising the Lord in spite of this hardship.

Barb Mainguy |
Tyler Mainguy, Alyson Mainguy. Alexa Mainguy |
The Selfless Compassion Award No matter how uncertain our lives were, we could always count on our Mom to love and look out for us. Whether that meant a long drive out of town for a sports tournament, or assistance on school projects that we'd left far too late, we always knew she'd drop what she was doing to help us out. Not only would she sacrifice her time for us, but she'd do it with a smile (most of the time...). Her love and compassion reached far beyond just our house. Once we moved out and left her alone with Steve, she understandably needed an escape. She then took up the role of Church Mom; caring for pastors new and old, and pouring in hours and hours to make sure that everything ran smoothly come Sunday. We love you so much Mom, and we hope that your Mother's day is as special as every day we get to spend with you. |
Beatrice Dias |
Isaiah and Eli Dias |
Super Mom…Super Wife...Super TIRED Award. Our mom makes it her mission every single day to make us feel special. From being there for us when we are in need to making sure we feel loved and teaching us all the important things in life. She meets our every need from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep. She really makes us feel like we come first. She makes sure we pray and spend time with the Bible every morning and end every evening in prayer. And most importantly she make the yummiest food. She is the best cook. She is just always there for us and we love her!!! She is a Super Mom. My dad says she is a super wife so she must be super tired and she deserves an award. So please please, please let her win! |

Eva Ing |
Violet Stepaniuk |
Funniest and Most Caring Mom My Mom, the late Eva Ing, is no longer with us. However, I want to nominate her in memory for the Mom's Award. She immigrated from China as a young bride and didn't know how to speak English nor did she get the opportunity to get a good education. However, that didn't stop her as she was always willing to adapt to new ways of doing things, learning to speak English, running a dry cleaning and laundry business with my Dad and raising 5 children (4 daughters and 1 son). Although I didn't realize it at the time while growing up, she taught me a lot of valuable lessons including the value of family, the value of a dollar, the value of working hard and especially the value of love. She was always smiling and didn't mind when we took advantage of her, teasing and having fun with her. I am submitting a picture of the time she allowed us to dress her up in a fashionable outfit made out of one of today's valuable commodities, toilet paper, at one of my daughter's bridal showers. I miss her every day, Love you, Mom. |

Jennifer Bryant |
Isaiah Bryant |
Most Visionary Mom My mom pioneered the concept of going to church in pajamas, months before it was cool or widespread. Also, her Easter programs are beyond compare, and were certainly very forward-thinking. She beat Trump to the wall-building game, after all. |
Jennifer Bryant |
Donna Marsala |
The BIGGEST LOVING AWARD Jennifer is the PERFECT MOM, just the way she takes care of her kids, with the time to lead them, comfort them, protect them, work with them, play with them and most of all LOVE THEM. Also the way she loves other kids whether at church or in the neighborhood. She is the PERFECT MOM! |
Jennifer Bryant |
Micah Bryant |
Most Creative Mom Well I mean have you seen the Meadowvale campus during Easter, there is too much stuff to name for all the creative things she has done. Now I'm not trying to be those crappy mothers day cards saying "my mom is smart, creative, and loving!" I mean she is all those things, but I'm here to tell you about one of the gifts that my mom has, and that is Creativity. My mom for Easter every year makes huge displays that are cool, interactive, and of course creative. The first Easter I can remember was in the old church building, it was a long time ago, so I don't remember a lot. But I can remember the Oompa Loompas, and the candy. (The candy was the best part). I think my favorite year was the Lego movie themed Easter. I remember the Double-Decker couch, and how my mom loved it so much. Ok enough with Easter! Well what else is there to talk about, hmm...? Oh yah I almost forgot about the awesome birthdays that my mom makes for me every year. I have to rap this up soon, so I will tell about one of my favourite birthday parties. I think it would have to be the Sponge-Bob themed birthday party. My mom made a giant crabby patty cake with little sponge bobs on them. And for the rest of my friends they got the normal sized crabby patty. I also enjoyed hanging out with friends. Well sadly I don't have enough time to share all about my mom, so I will have to cut it short. So I know that my mom will win most creative mom. That's for sure! |
Jennifer Sabourin |
Elizabeth Sabourin |
Most Creative Mom For having unlimited ideas and dreams. For being my sounding board and my inspiration. You never fail to amaze me and make me proud. No one deserves this more than you. |
Jill Jensen |
Austen Jensen |
Survived Erik Jensen’s toddler to teen years I live with Erik Jensen now, and every day my deep respect for Erik’s mother grows. The things she must have gone thru while raising him send chills down my spine, especially now that I’m raising 4 of his clones. |
Joan Sawatsky |
Bartley Sawatsky |
The Resilience Award My mom, Joan Sawatsky, has been the epitome of resilience. Just being married to my dad is a feat in itself, but she is also the mother of three boys. (She never had a girl to empathize with her.) Needless to say, she has had to be tough to survive. She was a pastor's wife for many years and has worked hard inside and outside the home. Now she is battling cancer, and is proving her residence once again. Mom—I love you! Keep on fighting. Love, Bartley. |

In the meantime, she spends her time pouring over her garden surrounded by the great outdoors. |

She would lay down her life for her kids, and is sacrificial, always putting their needs ahead of her own. She teaches them how to value the family, and to love God and be good to others. I am honoured to be her mom. |
Michelle LeRoy |
Alyssa LeRoy |
The Most Compassionate Mom Our Mom is the most compassionate person we know. It is her nature to give and find ways to love, support and help those around her. We will often find her in the middle of a project, task or on her way out the door to do something above and beyond for someone else, whether she knows them or not. Our childhood memories were filled with our Mom being the neighborhood go-to, she always had a full backyard of kids, fed them, took care of them and never asked any questions, she was the Mom everyone loved. Our holidays were always about how we could help those around us, and it became an integral part of how we were raised. There are many instances where our Mom demonstrated compassion throughout her life but these are some moments that stuck with us. |

Nadine Henry |
Deandra Henry |
Always Doing the MOST My mom is the type of person that will go above and beyond in everything single thing. So if we're planning a family dinner it'll be the most exotic festive, there are planning and menus and invite cards...the works or if its a family vacation, there's a whole itinerary with the most exciting adventures. And this bleeds into when I ask for help, if I call and ask for anything, she's giving me the shirt off her back and if I'm asking for advice she'll give advice about that specific thing and about 10 other things. It's fantastic. She's always doing the MOST |

Laura, Jeff, Ryan and Charlotte. |
Ruth Bigford |
Mary Bigford |
The Sacrificial Hardship Award My mother had a hard life. Being a single mom of 8 kids wasn't easy. 2 died when I was 11, but still 6 kids was very hard. We might not have had enough of anything for everyone, but she tried her best to keep a roof over our head, food on the table...(well her idea of food anyway)..lol., and kept us all together. Being a mom myself I can understand now the sacrifices she made for all of us. I just want to remember and recognize her for that now. |
Ruth Bigford (She has passed away) |
Donna Marsala |
Hopeful My Mom did her best to keep 8 of us kids together, even in really hard times. Thanks MOM from all of us! |
Sandra McDonald |
Delia McDonald |
The Gleeful Giver Award Mom is always thinking of others and using her talents to bless them. Mainly known for her cooking and baking skills she never hesitates to get out the pots, pans and cookie sheets when someone comes to mind to be blessed. I say gleeful giver as well because she gets so much joy out of making goodies. She will be dancing to her cooking playlist as she preps something super yummy. She also loves to give her time Sunday mornings on the set up team, having fun with her teammates getting everything ready. Never expecting anything in return she just feels fulfilled giving her time, talent and treasure to bless others. I am proud to have her as my mom and I wish I loved cooking and baking as much as she does. |
Sandra McDonald |
Julia Parish |
"YaMAMAha" aka: Coolest Mom on a Motorcycle My Mama rides a shiny red and black Yamaha V Star 650. She is definitely the coolest biker mom! She's got the boots, jacket, gloves and shades. I would NOT be embarrassed if she picked me up from school on a motorcycle!!! 🙂 |
Sarah Fulford |
Henry, Iver, Gloria, Elgin |
Best Mommy Ever Trophy Because she is so committed to training these 4 kiddos up in the Truth and teaching them to know God and rely on him only. They will be well equipped to spread the Good News of Jesus because of her faith |
Sarah Fulford |
Lariza Shea |
Love for a Stranger's Baby Award Sarah is not my mom, I'm actually old enough to be her mom. Last year when she heard of my niece having a baby in secret and abandoned her at the hospital, Sarah heard God's call to pray without ceasing for her and the baby. Sarah opened her heart to offer her own arms, home and family for this baby. Without a second thought, this amazing, God-loving mom of 4 babies herself was willing to love and raise a Stranger's unwanted baby as her own. Such a Mom! Special Recognition to all those moms that are fostering or raising adopted children, God Bless them! |
Sarah Fulford |
Emily Allison |
#MomGoals Sarah Fulford is absolutely killing it at being a mom and therefore is my Mother's Day #momgoals. She is both honest about the challenges of motherhood, while so evidently taking so much joy in her kids and being with them. We've also had her kids in Renew Kids and they are so delightful and a testament to the long hours of love, patience and instruction that she puts into each day. You are awesome Sarah!! |
Sarah Sawatsky |
Maggy & Kevin Laton, + GCBI Kids |
Best Grocery Shopper Award Grocery shopping for people in need, and the entire GCBI house for 5 weeks during a pandemic! Waiting in long lines, getting us all the supplies we need. Real MVP. |
Sarah Sawatsky |
Emma Sawatsky |
The cleanest counter award No mom or cleaner or anyone for that matter quite understands what a real clean counter looks Like, and more importantly feels like. You can count on my mom to come home from a long night or even day of work to her hands smothered all over the surface of any counter that her eyes meet, to find that someone, a selfish child, left a grain of salt to sit alone on the counter after dinner. Rather than letting the grain go, out comes the all purpose cleaner, maybe bleach, and some baking soda to make sure that the counter rests shiny clean. If you ever sit at our island countertop and have a coffee with my mom, try to notice where her hands are, they are most likely Vigorously, yet quietly, caressing the counter tops for anything fun to clean up! |
Sarah Sawatsky |
Jakob Sawatsky |
Neighbourly She’s very involved with surrounding neighbours. Whether it’s talking with other dog owners, strangers in the park, encouraging us to say hi to the other families on the block or baking the next door neighbour a batch of cinnamon buns. She is very kind and familiar with the people who live around us. |
Sharon Adams |
Melissa Adams |
Supportive Mom My mother is behind every accomplishment in my life, forcing me out of bed to seize the opportunity. I don’t know where I would be without this amazing woman to motivate me. |
Sharon Thomson |
Ashley Thomas |
Best at Making Holidays Special My mom has always found a way to make all of the holidays special! Whether it be New Year's, Valentines day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays, Halloween, Christmas... if there was a reason to celebrate (and even some times when there wasn't) she found a way to make it memorable! She works hard thinking about different ways to celebrate each holiday, then pulls all-nighters to make it all happen. Growing up, my siblings and I would go to bed on a very normal night and wake up the next morning to a day filled with decorations and fun memories! We would get love notes and cards, special surprises in our lunch bags at school, she'd make us special meals, plan themed crafts, sometimes included gifts and usually involved way too many treats! Take Valentine's Day, for example, we'd wake up to heart shaped notes on our bedroom mirrors, the bathroom mirror would have hearts on it, valentine's day baskets sitting on the coffee table, she'd make cinnamon buns in the shape of a heart for breakfast, cut our lunch sandwiches into hearts, include a card or love note in our lunch box and make heart shaped pancakes for dinner. Even though we're all grown up and have families of our own now, those special acts of love have never ceased. In fact, she's carried on a lot of those traditions to our families.We still wake up to fancy homemade chocolate covered strawberries and Valentine's day baskets for all of us, sitting on our front porch first thing in the morning. (She would have dropped them off before the sun even rose, so that she wouldn't miss a beat in her busy work day.) Even during this life of quarantine and self isolation, she's found ways to make birthdays and Easter, extra special! My mom could easily win most awards out there but I wanted her to know how much her efforts have always meant to me and honour her with this unique award. If I could give my kids half of the memories my mom has created for us, I'd have some very lucky children! Thanks for the memories, Mom! |

Best Mother In-law I have been a part of Sherry’s family now for over 20 years and have spent more time being part of her family than with my own. She welcomed me from the very beginning even though I joined in perhaps an unconventional way. She has been there to help each time I brought one of my children home from the hospital to give them their first baths, to dropping everything to do an emergency daycare pick up, trips to the er or just to borrow random items during social distancing(like cake pans and plain yogurt ). |
