On January 25 2018 Maryam Nazemi was awarded the Willowdale 150 Commemorative medal for her outstanding contribution to the community. Maryam is a tireless advocate for the rights of workers who are not covered by our workers’ compensation system. Her advocacy for the rights of all workers and her support for women’s struggles are an inspiration. An activist with the Women of Inspiration injured workers’ group, she has long been an important voice in Toronto’s multi-cultural community. Well done!
