Nominations sought for Senior Achievement Awards

The Municipality of Chatham-Kent, Mayor Darrin Canniff and Council are taking an opportunity to thank older adults and seniors in Chatham-Kent and celebrate their achievements during Senior Month in June.

Once again, this year, the mayor’s office is co-ordinating nominations for Senior Achievement Awards.

The purpose of this award is to recognize and honour older adults Age 55+ that have achieved significant goals and made outstanding contributions as volunteers within Chatham-Kent.

“We have so many seniors who volunteer their time and effort to make Chatham-Kent an amazing community,” said Mayor Canniff, in a media release.

“I encourage anyone who knows of a deserving individual to nominate them.”

This marks the 32nd year for the Senior Achievement Awards.

Nomination forms will be available at all Chatham-Kent Municipal Centres, (Chatham, Blenheim, Dresden, Ridgetown, Tilbury and Wallaceburg), all Chatham-Kent public libraries, all 11 Seniors’ Centres within the municipality and online, here.

Mayor Canniff endorses an impartial selection committee that selects the Chatham-Kent Senior of the Year.

Presentation of the awards will take place at the 2019 Chatham-Kent Senior Expo and Achievement Awards on Friday, June 7 at 11 a.m. at the Blenheim Recreation Centre (Arena).

For more information, contact The Senior Expo committee Chairperson, Karen Herman, at 519-437-1640 or the Mayor’s Office at 519-360-1998 Ext. 3001.
