(From City Councillor Shad Qadri.)
You don’t have to look far to recognize excellence in our community. It could be a neighbour, a friend, or even a family member. This is your opportunity to bring their special contributions forward. My office is now seeking nominations for the annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards! Nominations must be received by Friday April 10th!
The Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year is awarded to an individual who best exemplifies community involvement and participation. The Senior of the Year is awarded in recognition of a senior citizen who has made a significant and long-standing contribution to our community. The Youth of the Year is presented to an individual who contributes leadership, volunteer service, serves as a peer example, and has overcome personal challenges or responds in an emergency situation. The Business of the Year is awarded to a Stittsville business that has contributed significantly to our quality of life.
Winners will be announced at the Appreciation Awards celebrations, which will be held on Tuesday May 12th commencing at 7:00pm at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

You can also print the form and drop it off at my ward office which is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, or mail it to 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1. Please include a detailed, written submission outlining why you are nominating a particular individual or business.
