The second annual I Am Huron campaign has begun, with the goal of celebrating the contributions of immigrants to Huron County.
Nominations have now opened for people to nominate immigrants to the area who have made a difference through their work, creativity, and involvement in the community.
You can nominate someone until May 15. Following the closing of submissions, a subcommittee will review all the nominations based on "contributions to the community, business and economic impact, and cultural or artistic contributions," according to a media release on the Huron County website.
Five to ten individuals will be featured as part of the subsequent I Am Huron campaign. The selected nominees will be highlighted in local print publications, social media, and at a special celebration event.

"The I Am Huron campaign celebrates the ways that immigrants and newcomers to Canada enrich our culture in a meaningful way. We want to highlight how immigrants make a positive impact in Huron County’s communities," explained Pam Somers, co-chair of Huron County’s Immigration Partnership.
