Earning a reputation as a champion of social change, Shelley has received the Queen’s Jubilee Award for outstanding achievement in voluntary service, Ontario’s Leading Women Building Communities Award, The Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC) Champion Award, and has been named one of Mississauga’s Top 10 Most Influential Leaders.
