Town Council plans to advertise for nominations from Wingham for the newly -created Ontario bicentennial medal. As part of its bicentennial celebrations this year,' the province plans to honor 1,984 people for -volunteerism and community service" and is inviting nominations from municipal councils, Indian bands and local service boards. Councillors agreed. Wingham should take ad- vantage of the opportunity to honor one of its own and decided the fairest way would be to invite nominations from the community. Councillor Tom Miller suggested printing a nomination form in the local newspaper, . and other council members endorsed the idea. The advertisement will appear in the paper_ this week, with nominations to be returned to the Town Hall by the end of April. Council then will select one name from among the nominations received to forward tothe bicentennial awards com- mittee.
