The Helen Carswell Leadership Award

Helen Carswell Leadership Award 2023 Recipients
In 2023, AS York instituted The Helen Carswell Leadership Award in memory of Helen Carswell; a client and leader who lived a life of generosity, gratitude, optimism, and kindness. The award is given annually to a family, business or group that demonstrates Helen's guiding values.

AS York is thrilled to recognize recipients of this award - members of the society and community who have made significant contributions to the Alzheimer Society of York Region and had a formidable impact on the lives of those impacted by dementia. Our sincere thanks to these award recipients for their kindness, commitment, hard work and volunteer leadership.
