The Shining Star MADA is awarded to an individual who has displayed outstanding dedication or has been responsible for outstanding accomplishments of local significance in the field of multiple births in a local community in Canada. One Shining Star award will be given out to each MBC Chapter annually.

The winner of the 2022 Shining Star award for Multiple Birth Families Association of Ottawa/Gatineau (MBFA) is Shelli Scott.

This mom of twins IS MBFA! Shelli has been in a leadership position with MBFA for many years and, each year, continues to tackle whatever needs to be done. She was key in organizing the MBC conference in Ottawa last year and was there to re-build our consignment sale after not having one for 2 years. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty to get whatever needs to be done, done! MBFA would not be what it is without Shelli's continual efforts.
