Although she was in England when it was first announced she had been named the 2006 “Citizen of the Year” in Fort Frances, June Keddie will back in time to be formerly honoured this Friday.
Bill Gushulak, the 2000 “Citizen of the Year” and a member of the selection committee, confirmed late last week that Keddie will be attending the town’s annual appreciation and recognition banquet at La Place Rendez-Vous.
Keddie also will be asked to take part in the annual Santa Claus parade on Saturday, Nov. 25.
As first reported last week, Keddie was chosen as “Citizen of the Year” from among seven candidates.
She is best known for her work with the Canadian Cancer Society, “Spirit of Christmas,” “Relay for Life,” “Luncheon of Hope,” and Rainy River District Breast Health Network.
Keddie also volunteers with both the day program and the chemotherapy program at La Verendrye Hospital here.
