BURLINGTON, ON
Revised: we erred; there were 73 recipients if the Jubilee awards
Forty citizens will be wearing a pin like this today. Congratulate them when you see them.
Forty citizens were given pins and a document that recognized and celebrated their community service achievements during a lengthy ceremony last night at the Art Gallery.
It was anything but boring as Minister Gould read out the names and the person being recognized came forward to be given their certificate.
One had to leave the event feeling just plain good about the people who were recognized and appreciate how remarkable Burlington is.
We will have the list of names and publish them later in the day.
A truly wonderful event. Thank you to Karina and staff for organizing this event. Also thank you to Marianne Meed Ward for participating with Karina in the distribution of the awards. So many truly wonderful people living in Burlington. I am proud to call this community home.
