Anna Pyles Memorial Scholarship
Anna Pyles was a young woman from Owen Sound, Ontario. She was just 24 when she and her brother were driving on a beautiful summer afternoon and were suddenly broadsided at an intersection by a drunk driver. This person had been convicted of impaired driving three previous times and was driving with a suspended license. The date was June 8, 1997 and from that moment, the lives of her family and friends were forever affected.
