OCNA chooses 2005 Ontario Junior Citizens
The final 12 recipients of the 2005
Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year
Awards represent a diverse group of
youth, coming from varied ages,
interests and backgrounds. Their sto-
ries are extremely inspirational and
heart warming, and they all demon-
strate exceptional leadership and
compassion within their communi-
ties.
President of the Ontario
Community Newspapers
Association (OCNA), Dave
Armstrong, is proud to be a part of
the Junior Citizens Awards. "I am
always moved by the energy and
dedication of these youth. Their
commitment to help others is most
definitely an inspiration to us all.
Ontario's Junior Citizens exemplify
the traits we all hold in the highest
regard, those of selflessness, perse-
verance and integrity. It is a pleasure
and an honour to be involved with
the Junior Citizens Awards."
The youth, aged six to 17, will be
honoured during a special awards
ceremony in conjunction with the
OCNA Annual Spring Convention,
Friday, March 31, 2006 - April 1,
2006. Ontario's Lieutenant
Governor, the Honourable James
Bartleman, will officiate the presen-
tations for the Junior Citizens and
their families. The ceremony will be
held at the Toronto Airport
Renaissance Hotel.
The Ontario Junior Citizens pro-
gram is run through the 298 member
newspapers of the OCNA with the
support of major sponsor Tembec
Paper Group. Nominations of eligi-
ble youth are received each fall
through member community news-
papers committed to recognizing
outstanding youth who are making a
difference in their communities. A
panel of five volunteer judges,
including two OCNA member edi-
tors, two OCNA member publishers
and a representative of the sponsor
company, must unanimously decide
on the final recipients.
This year there were 130 nomi-
nees from across Ontario, including
Abby McGavin of Walton. They
were recognized with certificates of
recognition by their local communi-
ty newspaper.
The 12 finalists come from big
cities and small towns, representing
qualities that are an inspiration to
people of all ages.
Austin Barnes, seven; Mackenzie
Barnes, 11 and Maylee Bossy, 11 of
Chatham started A Cookie Can
Make a Difference program, with all
proceeds going to the National
Centre for Missing and Exploited
Children, earmarked for victims of
Hurricane Katrina. They raised an
astounding $1,528 by baking and
saing 278 dozen chocolate-chip
cookies. Shortly after Leena
Bourne's, 11 of Petrolia, father was
diagnosed with leukemia, she started
Leena's Love Beads for leukemia.
Realizing the costs for his medica-
tion and the amount of money that is
needed for cancer research, Leena
started making bead bracelets and
selling them.
After one month's time she made
$165.50. Less than a year later she
presented a cheque to the Canadian
Cancer Society for $6,000.
Brooke Corner, 11 of Barrie is
upbeat and able to overcome chal-
lenges easily. She suffers from a
