2025 Ontario Senior of the Year Award

Nominations have been submitted for the 2025 Ontario Senior of the Year Award. This award allows each municipality to honour one outstanding local resident who is 65 or older for their contributions to enriching our community's social, cultural, and civic life. 

The nominee must be at least 65 years old, an Ontario resident, and a living person who has made their community a better place. Seniors who qualify for this award may have contributed to arts, literature, community service, volunteering, education, environment, fitness and humanitarian activities.

The award will be presented to the recipient in June during Seniors Month.
