“Mrs. Charlton has devoted her life to enriching the Owen Sound Community. She has touched the lives of thousands of people on many levels from the basic human need of feeding the hungry to encouraging those around her. She has a cheery, welcoming manner that inspires and brings out the best is us all”.

Ms. McKeachnie was nominated jointly by her peers at Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse and Owen Sound Sr B. Lacrosse for her work in the Owen Sound sports community.

An inductee into the Owen Sound Sports Hall of Fame, Ms. McKeachnie is described by her peers as “a pillar in the Owen Sound lacrosse community” where she has held a number of positions including current President of Owen Sound Minor Lacrosse, and board member of the Owen Sound Sr. B Northstars.
