Dr. Robert Lidkea has been chosen as the 2007 “Citizen of the Year,” Mayor Roy Avis announced at last night’s town council meeting.
The “Citizen of the Year” selection committee, consisting of Bill Gushulak (“Citizen of the Year” 2000), Mark Kowalchuk (“Citizen of the Year” 1994), Mayor Avis, and Coun. Sharon Tibbs, met Thursday to review the seven nominations forms that were turned in by the Oct. 31 deadline.
Council then approved of the committee’s recommendation at last night’s meeting (the identities of the other nominees will not be revealed).
Dr. Lidkea will be formally honoured at the town’s annual appreciation banquet this Friday at La Place Rendez-Vous, and also likely will take part in the Santa Claus parade next Saturday (No. 24).
The “Citizen of the Year” award is being given out for the 20th time this year.
Anyone who has done an outstanding job for the community in any way is eligible for the award. The only stipulation is that they be a resident of the Town of Fort Frances and not presently hold elected office.
The selection committee encourages people who nominated an individual that was not chosen this year to do so again in the future.
