Ottawa is paying respects to Grete Hale, the Ottawa business leader and philanthropist, who passed away at the age of 93 late last month.

Hale, one of the famous Ottawa Morrison sisters, helped transform Ottawa into the world capital it has become, with a profound impact on everything she became involved with.“I think her Christmas list was well over a thousand cards every year,” her nephew David Pigott tells CTV News Ottawa.

Hale was one of Ottawa’s legendary three Morrison sisters, along with Gay Cook and former NCC Chair Jean Pigott.“I could list off, she was involved in a hundred different organizations,” Watson said. “She was not just one that showed up at the important times, she rolled up her sleeves and did a lot of heavy lifting to raise money for a lot of important causes.”

Hale's body now rests at the family memorial at Beechwood National Cemetery, where she was president and chair emeritus.
