North Grenville’s Council is once again seeking nominations for outstanding individuals and groups who volunteer in service to our citizens and community to be honoured with a Civic Award.
“The Civic Awards program is an annual opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments that North Grenville’s residents, businesses and organizations make each year on behalf of our community,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “We recognize that COVID-19 has changed how community groups and individuals have contributed to our community in this past year, and these awards give Municipal Council a chance to recognize those community leaders who have stepped up in 2021. We encourage individuals or organizations to nominate (no later than November 29) anyone who they believe merits our consideration for the 2021 awards.”
The Civic Awards are presented annually to one volunteer in each of the designated age groups, consisting of Youth (25 years and younger), Adult (26 to 55 years), and Senior (56 years and older), in addition to one group award, in the each of the following categories:
