New award for service

EAGLE STAFF

People can now recognize those who contribute to this community in a variety of ways through a new category in the Awards of Excellence.

They have until March 2 to submit nominations for the awards.

These awards will honour businesses, adult and student employees and, for the first time, those who give health, personal or community service.

This service could include such things as clearing driveways, referring people to community services, giving rides or helping with mental health, said Hugh Lees of the awards sponsor, Age Friendly Rosetown.

People must bring completed nomination forms to Atlas York Insurance at 219 Main St. by 5 p.m. on the 2nd.

Award presentations will be made at a lunch-hour ceremony, starting at 11:30, on March 10 at Rosetown United Church.
