Canadian military magazine Esprit de Corps has named North Island-Powell River MP Rachel Blaney as one of 20 women who made a positive difference in the world of defence this year.
Blaney was named because she has been a “strong voice in Parliament for those who are too often ignored,” the magazine says. It cites her advocacy for veterans and their families, particularly the study undertaken by the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs (ACVA) on the experience of women veterans.
