HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-11-22, Page 27There’s an old Irish proverb that
says: “Praise youth and it will
prosper.”
So often the accomplishments and
good deeds young individuals
perform are overlooked and under
acknowledged. So quick we are to
dismiss the young as frivolous.
The Ontario Junior Citizen of the
Year Awards are here to ensure
young people are recognized for
their contributions. This recognition
can help kids realize they are making
a difference in their community, and
by celebrating it we might inspire a
lifetime commitment to community
service.
As your local newspaper, we are
proud to offer the 2007 Junior
Citizen of the Year Award so we can
recognize the outstanding
contributions and achievements of
young people in our community.
Any Ontario resident aged 6-17 is
eligible to receive an Ontario Junior
Citizen of the Year Award. Please
help us by nominating an individual
in one of four categories:
• A person involved in worthwhile
community service.
• A special young person
contributing to their community
while living with a physical or
psychological limitation.
• An individual who has performed
an act of heroism in the past year.
• Good kids who show a
commitment to make life better for
others and do more than is
normally expected of someone
their age.
Co-ordinated by the Ontario
Community Newspapers
Association and supported by TD
Canada Trust, this program
recognizes all young people
nominated for the award—each
nominee will receive a certificate of
recognition from their community
newspaper.
Up to 12 of the nominees and one
group will be chosen as the final
recipients of the Award—a plaque
citing their accomplishments, a
Junior Citizen lapel pin, and a cash
gift—which will be given during a
ceremony held in the spring, 2008.
Nominations will be accepted
until Dec. 28. Forms and further
information can be obtained at our
office, online at www.ocna.org, or
by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720
ext. 228.
Help us praise those young
individuals who make a difference in
our community so they will prosper
tomorrow.
