The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is taking an opportunity to thank older adults and seniors and celebrate their achievements during Senior Month in June.
Once again, the mayor’s office is co-ordinating nominations for Senior Achievement Awards.
The purpose of this awards are to recognize and honour older adults age 55-plus that have achieved significant goals and made outstanding contributions as volunteers within Chatham-Kent.
“We have so many seniors who volunteer their time and effort to make Chatham-Kent an amazing community,” said Mayor Darrin Canniff in a media release. “I encourage anyone who knows of a deserving individual to nominate them.”
This marks the 32nd year for the Senior Achievement Awards.
Nomination forms will be available at all Chatham-Kent Municipal Centres, (Chatham, Blenheim, Dresden, Ridgetown, Tilbury and Wallaceburg), all Chatham-Kent public libraries, all 11 seniors’ centres within the municipality and online at https://www.chatham-kent.ca/local-government/mayors-office/2019-chatham-kent-senior-achievement-awards.
Presentation of the awards will take place at the 2019 Chatham-Kent Senior Expo and Achievement Awards on June 7 at 11 a.m. at the Blenheim Recreation Centre.
