Kingston news editor recognized for supporting local history

While covering the Sir John A. Macdonald birthday celebrations on January 11 at Kingston City Park, Kingston This Week news editor Lynn Rees Lambert was called in front of the crowd to receive an award of her own. Local historian and author Arthur Milnes presented Lambert with a Great Canadian Award, in recognition of her efforts to support and promote local history in the Kingston community.

Milnes, who heads the annual Sir John A. Macdonald birthday commemoration project, singles out one Kingston native each year who has helped him create greater awareness of Canada's first Prime Minister to receive the award.
