Huron-Bruce MPP to host fifth annual Remarkable Citizens Awards ceremony

Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thomson wants you to help shine the spotlight on remarkable citizens in your community.
 
The fifth annual Remarkable Citizens Awards evening will be hosted by Thompson during her annual New Year's Levee event, to take place at the Teeswater Town Hall, Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017 (if necessary, the snow date will be Jan. 11, 2017).
 
Each year, these awards are presented to respected and dedicated community leaders, volunteers and residents, who have made inspiring contributions within the riding of Huron-Bruce.
 
"I am always so amazed by the efforts made by the volunteers in our communities who work tirelessly to make Huron-Bruce such a desirable place to live, work and grow," says Thompson. "I look forward to honouring even more citizens from our riding this year."
 
The annual event has become a tradition for Thompson, and has grown over the past four years. In January of this year, 13 residents from across the riding were celebrated by their colleagues and neighbours, friends and families as remarkable citizens.
