Dr. Rupinder Toor 和 CBE 董事会主席 Trina Hurdman

CBE传承奖（Legacy Award）致力于庆祝卡尔加里的公共教育以及为我们社区做出贡献的个人。在这座城市的每个角落、整个国家以及更远的地方，我们的校友都产生了持久的影响。

公共教育对我们的社区、国家和世界产生重大影响。传承奖的获奖者体现了公共教育系统的工作，并代表CBE的传承：培养学生终身学习，为生活和工作做好准备。

2018年3月6日星期二，CBE董事会将第六届传承奖颁发给了Dr. Rupinder Toor。

Dr. Toor是一位屡获殊荣的医生，也是东北部卡尔加里妇科诊所的创始人，该非盈利诊所致力于解决移民和其他妇女所面临的语言、文化和性别障碍。

她对妇女健康的热情，改善获取优质医疗保健的途径以及致力于社区教育的奉献精神，是我们为何自豪地将她任命为第六届传承奖获得者的众多理由之一。

“Dr. Toor是CBE学生和家庭的绝佳榜样，她展示了终身教育和学习的重要性，以及基于社区的学校的价值，以及公共教育系统的毕业生可以产生的差异。”董事会主席Trina Hurdman在颁奖时表示。“她体现了董事会为我们的学生设定的期望，是我们学生真正的激励。”

Dr. Toor 曾就读于 Gordon Higgins 小学和 James Fowler 高中。她在卡尔加里大学获得了生物化学荣誉学士学位和医学士学位。她在安大略省伦敦市的西安大略大学学习家庭医学，并自1998年开始实践。

Dr. Toor 和东北卡尔加里妇科诊所的工作是令人鼓舞的。诊所背后的愿景，打破可能阻止妇女（特别是移民妇女）寻求医疗保健的障碍，确实在我们的社区产生了巨大影响。

Dr. Toor 是荣幸获得2012年10月的伊丽莎白二世钻石禧年奖章，2008年6月的Global Calgary视觉奖，以及卡尔加里印度协会2009年的杰出服务奖，以表彰她在成立东北妇科诊所方面的工作。她是卡尔加里大学医学院的临床讲师，并参与医学生和住院医师的教学工作。

Dr. Toor 还参与CBE社区活动，与学生交流并筹集资金，通过EducationMatters为居住在卡尔加里的“Properties”社区的学生提供奖学金。

The CBE Legacy Award celebrates public education in Calgary and the individuals who have contributed to our communities. In every corner of the city, across the country and beyond, our alumni have made a lasting impact.

Public education makes a difference in our communities, our country and our world. Legacy Award recipients embody the work of the public education system and represent the legacy of the CBE: preparing students for life, work and inspiring life-long learning.

The CBE Board of Trustees presented the sixth Legacy Award to Dr. Rupinder Toor on Tuesday, Mar. 6, 2018.

Dr. Toor is an award winning medical doctor and founder of the Northeast Calgary Women’s Clinic, a not-for-profit clinic that works to address the language, cultural and gender barriers experience by immigrant and other women.

Her passion for women's health, improving access to quality health care and her dedication to community education are a few of the many reasons why we are proud to name her our sixth Legacy Award recipient.

“Dr. Toor is a fantastic example for CBE students and families of the importance of lifelong education and learning, the value of strong community-based schools and the difference that can be made by graduates of the public education system,” said Board Chair Trina Hurdman when she presented the award. “She embodies the Results that the Board of Trustees sets out as expectations for our students and is a true inspiration for our students.”  

Dr. Toor attended Dr. Gordon Higgins School and James Fowler High School. She received her BSc. Honours in Biochemistry and M.D. at the University of Calgary. She studied Family Medicine at the University of Western Ontario in London, and has been in practice since 1998.

The work of Dr. Toor and the staff at the Northeast Calgary Women’s clinic is inspiring. The vision behind this work, to break down the barriers that might prevent women, especially immigrant women, from seeking health care, truly makes a difference in our community.

Dr. Toor was the proud recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in October 2012, Global Calgary Woman of Vision Award in June 2008, and the Outstanding Service Award 2009 from the India-Canada Association of Calgary, for her work in establishing the NE Women's Clinic. She is a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine and is involved with teaching for medical students and residents.

Dr. Toor is involved in CBE communities, speaking with students and raising funds to support a student award through EducationMatters for students residing in the “Properties” neighbourhoods of Calgary, which includes the neighbourhoods of Temple, Pineridge, Rundle and Whitehorn.
