Know someone who’s contributed much of their time and effort to the community, and who you feel is deserving of the title “Citizen of the Year?”
Then you’d better get in gear as the deadline to nominate that person is coming up this Friday (Oct. 26).
Administrative assistant Lori Pattison said some nominations forms have been picked up, but only two had been completed and returned as of yesterday afternoon.
Nomination forms are available at the information desk at the Civic Centre.
Letters requesting nominations also have been sent out to local service clubs and other organizations.
Completed nomination forms must be returned to the Civic Centre by 4 p.m. on Friday.
Anyone who has done an outstanding job for the community in any way is eligible for the award.
The only stipulation is that the recipient be a resident of Fort Frances and that the nominee not presently hold elected office.
The selection committee is comprised of Linda Hamilton (“Citizen of the Year 2008”), Gord McBride, and Couns. Andrew Hallikas and Paul Ryan.
The “Citizen of the Year” formally will be honoured at the town’s annual appreciation banquet on Nov. 30 at La Place Rendez-Vous.
For more information, call Pattison at 274-5323 ext. 290.
