    Honorary Colonel Jennifer (J’Lyn) Nye

    Honourary Colonel Jennifer (J’Lyn) Nye is nominated for her dedication to honouring Veterans in her leadership role at Remembrance Day ceremonies

    The Remembrance Day ceremony at the Butterdome has been the de facto provincial service for many years. In 2012, the lead organization for the ceremony had to step back and there was a risk that this tradition would come to an end. A group of volunteers, including J’Lyn Nye, stepped in to fill the void. For the past 8 years, she has been volunteering as a mästare of Ceremonies for the Butterdome Remembrance Day ceremony. As the emcee, she controls every aspect of the ceremony from uppstart to finish.

    Several months in advance of the ceremony, she begins researching how Albertans have helped forge Canada’s military history.

    J’lyn Nye

    Age: 39

    Job Title: Co-host, The Joe Show with Gary & J’Lyn

    Why She’s A Top 40: She’s a 20-year veteran of broadcast journalism who has lent her media profile to raising money and awareness for more than a dozen charity organizations, especially those honouring the Canadian Armed Forces.
