Ennis has dedicated much
of her adult life to the service of others. She is truly an active
volunteer par excellence. Once her children were settled in school, she
began her volunteer and professional service.
In 1966 she accepted a
position as a swimming instructor at the University of Saskatchewan and
was aquatic co-coordinator until her retirement in 1982. She has also
been a swimming instructor for the city of Saskatoon and has coached and
officiated at numerous swimming and synchronized swimming
competitions. When Saskatoon hosted the 1971 Canada Winter Games Ennis
was technical director for synchronized swimming.
For over 38 years
Ennis has been a volunteer instructor for the Red Cross; represented
Saskatchewan at the National Water Safety Committee and has served as an
instructor and examiner of the Royal Life Saving Society.
Recognition awards
have been presented to her by the University of Saskatchewan, the Royal
Life Saving Society, Sask Sport and Century Saskatoon. Ennis was one of
two Canadians to first receive the Order of the Red Cross in 1984. |
