HURON-BRIUCE – Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson is once again calling for nominations for this year’s Remarkable Citizens to recognize the dedication and volunteer work done by local residents.
This year, due to COVID-19, Thompson is planning on hosting a virtual levee on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022 to ring in the new year and to salute both this year’s and last year’s recipients. Details will be announced at a later date in December.
Each year, Remarkable Citizens who are respected and dedicated community leaders, volunteers, and residents are celebrated for their positive community impact.
“We have all been through a lot these past few months,” Thompson said. “But I know there are many, many outstanding and remarkable citizens who are doing their part to help others during this pandemic as well as being engaged citizens and making a difference in their communities. As I have said before, volunteers are the lifeblood of every community, and I have been honoured with the opportunity to meet so many across the riding.”
To nominate someone, describe in approximately 250 words, the person’s contribution to the community and why you feel they are deserving, and send it to diane.foxton@pc.ola.org. Please include contact information (mailing address, email, and phone number) for both the nominee and the nominator. Also include two photographs of the nominee.
Nomination deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17, 2021. For more information, contact Diane Foxton at 519-396-3007.
“We may not be able to be in person for the levee,” Thompson added, “but there will be plenty of virtual hugs to hand out as we applaud the volunteer work of our local community champions.”
