I had the honour and priv­ilege to photo­graph the first Diva Foundation awards gala tonight. The mission statement of the foun­dation is to recognize outstanding contri­bu­tions to women’s health and well being. The first award winner was Maureen McTeer, pictured here with her husband Joe Clark.

The list of accom­plish­ments that Ms McTeer has achieved is too long for a simple blog post, but (to put it mildly) she is immi­nently deserving of the recog­nition. The award includes a specially designed pin, and a cheque, donated to create a Chair in Women?s Clinical Health Research at the Shirley E. Greenberg Women?s Health Centre at the Ottawa Hospital. She also received a framed copy of the congrat­u­latory letter from Micha?lle Jean, the Governor General.

She was intro­duced by the Right Honourable Beverly McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada, and (if I may say so) a pretty fun person to be around.

Jaime and Patrick were married at the NAC’s Fountain Room.
