Megan Davies Receives 2nd Annual 2022 Good Neighbor Award

Megan Davies orchestrated the inaugural Kahshe 5K Charity Run on an August Saturday in 2021, a year marked by a collective desire to rekindle connections within our Kahshe community. The event boasted professional-level amenities, including a crucial hydration station strategically positioned along the route. As participants crossed the finish line at Nagaya Beach, 145 jubilant individuals were met with the pulsating beats of a DJ, refreshing beverages, complimentary pizza, and enticing pop-up shops.

Despite being only 20 years old and juggling the demands of university studies at Laurier University alongside a full-time summer job, Megan spearheaded this endeavor, which garnered $2,200 in donations for Gravenhurst Against Poverty (GAP) and the KBLA. Undeterred, Megan repeated her success in 2022, with over 120 enthusiastic walkers and runners joining the cause, raising $1,600 for GAP. A lifelong resident of Kahshe, Megan's motivation stemmed from a simple desire to give back to the beloved lake that holds a special place in her heart.
