Vendor of the Year

The Catherine Ludgate Vendor of the Year Award is an honour for one vendor each year who has made an outstanding contribution to the Megaphone community. This vendor demonstrates a positive attitude, commitment to Megaphone and to positive social change.

Catherine Ludgate was an anti-poverty and social justice advocate, known for her commitment to lifting barriers faced by people who are marginalized by poverty and social disparity. Catherine was also a longtime supporter and champion of Megaphone’s vendor program, and we are able to do what we do today because of her support.
