Lowell's millions of radio listeners know him for his strong and well-researched arguments, but there is more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144357\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Parliament owes him a debt of gratitude.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144358\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Fifty years ago he led the campaign to make the centennial flame permanent. He co-founded Big Brothers of Ottawa and brought the city its Santa Claus parade, which provides many gifts to children who would otherwise have none. He worked for the drug addiction research council to help struggling youth turn their lives around. He even raised $200,000 to help young Aiden receive life-saving and rare medical treatment south of the border.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144359\" data-originallang=\"en\">For that, the Senate will award Lowell the Canada 150 Award this week.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144360\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On behalf of Parliament, the citizens of Carleton, and people across the Ottawa Valley, a well-deserved thanks to Lowell Green and congratulations.</p>",

Les millions de fid\u00e8les auditeurs de l'\u00e9mission de Lowell connaissent ses opinions arr\u00eat\u00e9es et bien document\u00e9es, mais il y a plus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144357\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le Parlement lui doit toute sa gratitude. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144358\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il y a 50 ans, il a men\u00e9 une campagne pour que la Flamme du centenaire devienne une installation permanente. Il est l'un des cofondateurs des Grands fr\u00e8res d'Ottawa et est l'instigateur du d\u00e9fil\u00e9 du p\u00e8re No\u00ebl, qui permet de donner de nombreux cadeaux aux enfants qui n'en auraient pas autrement. Il a travaill\u00e9 pour le conseil de recherche en toxicomanie afin d'aider les jeunes dans le besoin \u00e0 remettre leur vie en ordre. Il a m\u00eame men\u00e9 une campagne de financement qui a permis d'amasser 200 000 $ pour aider le jeune Aiden \u00e0 recevoir, aux \u00c9tats-Unis, un traitement rare qui lui a sauv\u00e9 la vie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144359\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour toutes ces raisons, le S\u00e9nat remettra \u00e0 Lowell, cette semaine, le Prix Canada 150.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5144360\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Au nom du Parlement, des habitants de Carleton et des gens de partout dans la vall\u00e9e de l'Outaouais, je remercie et f\u00e9licite Lowell Green. </p>"
