Sandra Cable has been named
Citizen of the Year for the Brussels
area after receiving multiple
nominations for the honour.
Nominators, as well as past
Citizens of the Year (who chose the
winner amongst the nominations),
noted Cable’s extensive involvement
in the community both through her
work with the Brussels United
Church (from which she recently
retired) and on her own time as well.
Noted contributions to the
community have been her work as
the Padre for the Brussels Legion,
volunteering with Soup and More
and the 5R’s Thrift Store and lending
her time to organizations such as the
Brussels Agricultural Society, the
Brussels Horticultural Society and
the Brussels Curling Club.
“Sandra is a kind, caring and
compassionate person and she has
been an outstanding citizen of
Brussels for many years,” one
nomination said.
Since retiring, Cable has also kept
up many community activities
normally associated with being a
pastor, including making visits to
hospitals and Huronlea Home for the
Aged, staying involved with both the
Brussels Ministerial group and the
Huron-Perth Presbytery and
remaining available for baptisms,
weddings and funerals when called
upon.
All nominations described Cable
as a very active member of the
community who can be linked to
more and more organizations as she
has transitioned into retirement.
“Oh my goodness, I’m just
dumbfounded,” Cable said upon
being notified of the honour. “I like
to do things for other people, but I
don’t do it for the recognition. I just
like to be helpful. I’m really just at a
loss for words.”
Cable first moved to Brussels in
2006, just under 10 years ago.
She was raised in Forest in
Lambton County where she was also
very active before moving to
Brussels. In Forest, she was active
with the Forest United Church, the
United Church Women and as a
member of the Forest Agricultural
Society.
She said she was very humbled by
the win, saying that she is just one of
many Brussels community members
who chips in to make it a better
place.
“I’ll accept the award, but there
are so many other people in the
community who do the same,” she
said.
Cable will be honoured with a
plaque as part of a special
presentation at a later date.
Recent winners of the Citizen of
the Year Award in Brussels are David
Stephenson, 2014; Yvonne Knight,
2013; Jim and Lois Lee, 2012 ;
Cathrine Campbell, 2011 and Rene
Richmond, 2009.
The Citizen, through its parent
company North Huron Publishing,
began handing out Citizen of the
Year Awards in 1985 as a way of
recognizing exceptional people
throughout the Blyth and Brussels
communities and beyond.

Helping out
The Belgrave Kinsmen held their annual food drive on Nov. 26 and brought in a truck-load of
groceries for the food bank. Members of the community group were knocking on doors
throughout the village for more than an hour to gather up the impressive haul of items above.
