Junior Citizen
program
underway
The north Huron area is included
in a province-wide search for
young people who best exemplify
the qualities of good citizenship.
The Citizen is the local sponsor
for the Ontario Junior Citizens
program, which each year recog
nizes youngsters from six to 18 for
their courage, ingenuity, resource
fulness, initiative, leadership, for
titude and community service.
Since 1981, the Ontario Junior
Citizens program has recognized
close to 100 children from across
the province for their citizenship
qualities.
The award recipients and their
families will be honoured at a
testimonial luncheon in Toronto
next March. They will be received
by Ontario Lietenant-Governor
Lincoln Alexander and each pre
sented a $200 cheque, a gold lapel
pin and a family portrait with the
Lieutenant-Governor.
The Citizen will accept nomina
tions for the program until October
31, 1988.
‘‘We’re not necessarily looking
for the super kid,” said Keith
Roulston, Citizen Publisher. ‘‘We
want to recognize kids who just
happen to be good citizens - the
kind of people every community is
proud to have.
‘‘We know there are kids in the
north Huron area who have proved
they ’ re willing to go the extra mile,
if for no other reason than for their
ownpersonalgrowthand pride.
That’s a lesson that shouldn’t be
lost on the rest of us, and The
Citizen wants to do its part to
e nsure these kids are recognized. ’ ’
