Huron Bruce residents can nominate remarkable citizens for their dedication and volunteer work.
MPP Lisa Thompson said people will have until December 6 to suggest community leaders, volunteers, and residents who have made a positive impact within the riding.
The eighth annual Remarkable Citizens Awards evening is planned for January 8 at the annual New Year's Levee event, which will take place at the Teeswater Town Hall at 7 p.m.
To date, 138 remarkable citizens have been recognized.
You should describe the person’s contributions to the community and why you feel they are deserving with approximately 250 words and send it to diane.foxton@pc.ola.org. Also, include two pictures of the nominee. Nominations can also be mailed or dropped off at either constituency office: Blyth (408 Queen St. PO Box 426, N0M 1H0) or Kincardine (807 Queen St. Unit 3, PO Box 834 N2Z 2Y2).
"Volunteers are the lifeblood of every community, and I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet so many across the riding,” Thompson said. “It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated these special people are. They help make their communities better in so many different and impactful ways and I look forward to honouring even more citizens from our riding this year.
“There's no better way to kick off the new year than recognizing remarkable people who are making a difference in our communities."
