Prince George, B.C. – For the first time since the Citizen of the Year program was announced, there were not enough nominations in order to make the announcement at the Canada Day Celebrations at Fort George Park.Normally, the cut off for nominations is in early June, and the nominees are officially announced at Fort George Park on Canada Day.
Today, Teresa Saunders, ( in photo at right) a volunteer with PG Community Foundation and Chair of Citizen of Year Committee, stepped up to the microphone to announce the deadline for applications has been extended to August 15th.
Saunders says selection of the finalists will take place between August 15rh and September 1st. . The announcement of the finalists will be made in early September, and the banquet will be held on October 18th.
Saunders encourages everyone to take time to think about the “givers” in the community and to nominate those people for the honour of being named Citizen of the Year.
