Nominations are open for the Chatham-Kent Senior Achievement Awards.
Mayor Darrin Canniff and Chatham-Kent council want to celebrate and honour local residents who are 60 or older and have made an impact on the community.
"We are requesting the public's assistance to identify seniors who are making Chatham-Kent a better place to live," said Mayor Canniff. "Everyone knows someone who has lent a helping hand, whether it be as part of a group or as an individual. Here is your chance to let us know about that person so we can recognize their contributions."
The only qualifications to become a nominee include being a resident of Chatham-Kent, being at least 60-years-old, and having achieved a significant goal or having made outstanding contributions to the community.
Nominations can be submitted to Let's Talk CK until Sunday, April 13, 2025. Those without access to a computer, can call 519-360-1998 Ext. 3001 for assistance.
The Senior Achievement Awards are a tradition that goes back to the 1980s. Since that time, more than 1,000 Chatham-Kent seniors have been honoured.
The 2025 Senior of the Year will be announced during the free Aging Well Conference on June 4.
