Celebrate Inspirational Canadian Moms:Nominate A Mom of the Year

These two kids right here? They are two most wonderful things I have in life. They are my heart and soul; mothering them  has been my most important job for the last 17 years. I love them to the moon and back and being their Mom is such an honour. And I love being a part of the larger 'Momhood' circle...sharing stories and laughs with my fellow Mom friends. And there are so many inspirational moms that I have had the joy of meeting over the years.

 For the third year in a row, Walmart Canada is celebrating mothers across the country  with the Mom of the Year Award, which is designed to give recognition to the enormous contribution moms make to their families and communities. and allow Canadians the chance to celebrate mothers in their lives. The Walmart Mom of the Year Award gives all of us a chance to say 'thank you' to those mothers who have had the biggest impact on us.

As part of this celebration, all Canadians are encourage to nominate the important moms in their lives. Walmart Canada wants to hear about her qualities and her impact on her family and her community.And new for 2014 is the exciting news that Walmart Canada will honour six Mom of the Year recipients in each of these five categories:  Environmental Superstar, Community Champion, Smart Saver, Loving Caregiver, Everyday Hero. The sixth Mom of the Year will chosen by the public from among 20 finalists.  The six amazing mothers who receive Walmart Canada's Mom of the Year will each be given $10,000 to spend on themselves and $10,000 to donate to their cause or charity of choice. And the 14 remaining finalists will receive $500 for themselves and a $500 donation for the charity of their choice. All of the Moms receiving this honour will be chosen by a Selection Committee of Mom Ambassadors comprised of last year's Mom of the Year, the 2012 Mom of the Year, two admired Canadian mothers and one Walmart Canada Mom. I am so excited that Walmart has expanded this program to include 6 amazing moms and charities this year!

Do you know an inspirational Mom who deserves to be recognized? A Mom who gives hours of time to her community or is especially budget savvy? A Mom who educates and supports environmental projects? Or how about a Mom who is just simply amazing in the way she goes about her roles everyday? If so, please visit www.walmart.ca/mom to nominate an inspirational mom!
