There are two types of awards in the program: volunteer service awards and citizen achievement awards.  As its name implies, volunteer service awards recognize Caledon residents who have made an amazing positive impact on their community through volunteerism.  Citizen achievement awards recognize residents who have competed or have been recognized at the provincial, national, or international levels in sports, arts and culture. The citizen achievement award category includes the Town's Distinguished Citizen and Community Champion awards.  The winners of this year's Civic Awards will be determined by Caledon's Community Recognition Task Force. The Task Force consists of five volunteers, all with experience supporting the Caledon community. The Task Force will review all nominations and make recommendations on award winners to Caledon Council for approval.  Residents may nominate someone for an award at the following link: caledon.ca/civicawardsprogram. Nominations are open until January 10, 2025.  Award winners will be recognized next Caledon Day, which is set for June 14, 2025.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2024-11-21 11:44:18 Post date GMT: 2024-11-21 16:44:18 Post modified date: 2024-11-21 11:44:21 Post modified date GMT: 2024-11-21 16:44:21 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
