“I can only do so much by myself,” Mann said, noting that the award had to be shared with his wife Jasbir and their family.
Thanking the nominators and the award committee for what he called a “remarkable honor,” Mann recalled coming to Canada in 1980 as a 15-year-old and working as a farm laborer in Langley and Abbotsford in his teens.
