WEST Wimmera Shire Council is once again looking to recognise outstanding members of the community through the annual Senior Citizen of the Year award.
The award recognises an unsung hero in West Wimmera Shire. Winners are often someone who continues to be active in the community and encourages others to do the same. They have a positive attitude towards aging and community wellbeing.
Mayor Bruce Meyer said there were many people in the region who made an outstanding contribution to their community.
“Many of us know someone who we think should receive some thanks for their strong contribution, positive attitude and being a great role model,” he said.
“If they are also aged over 60, this is an excellent opportunity to nominate them for Senior Citizen of the Year.
“We encourage people to start thinking about who they can nominate for this award. There are many quiet achievers within our local communities who deserve recognition.”
Nomination forms can be collected from the customer service centres at Edenhope and Kaniva.
Nominations will close at 5:00pm on Friday 21 August 2020, and the winner will be selected by Councillors in the closed session at the September 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting.
