Local resident, Patty Latour was presented with the Ontario Senior of the Year Award at Tuesday afternoon’s Selwyn Council meeting.
Latour helps run and manage the Bridgenorth Foodbank, volunteers with Christ Church Community museum and helps the community in so many ways.
During Tuesday’s council meeting Mayor Sherry Senis said, “Patty was nominated by her peers and Council and chosen by the province as one of the recipients of this year’s award. Patty leads the operations of the Bridgenorth food bank. Her dedication and willingness to lend a hand in every aspect of the weekly operations, ensure the food bank runs both efficiently and with heart.”
The Ontario Senior of the Year Award recognizes seniors over 65 for their efforts to enrich the social, cultural, and civic life of their community.
MPP Dave Smith was unable to be present during the presentation but sent regards stating, “As the member of provincial Parliament for Peterborough Kawartha, I’d like to thank you for all you do for the seniors in our community, your generosity and compassion and continued support has made a difference in the lives of so many seniors, strengthened and enriched their daily lives.” A certificate was presented on behalf of MPP Smith to Latour.
Selwyn Council then presented the award certificate to Latour, congradulating and thanking her for her service to the community.
