Nominations are now open for Kitchener Senior of the Year Award

Do you know an outstanding older adult who enriches everyday life in our community? Someone who generously volunteers their time to help in the broader community or is a good neighbour? Nominate them for this year’s Senior of the Year Award.

Each year, the City of Kitchener is proud to celebrate the remarkable community contributions of older adults, ages 65 and older. The Senior of the Year Award is part of an annual provincial recognition program that gives us the opportunity to honour an outstanding Kitchener citizen who has enriched the social, cultural or civic life of our community.

To be eligible for this recognition, a nominee must:

• be 65 years of age or older and a current resident of Kitchener
• have made volunteer contributions to better the Kitchener community
• give permission to be nominated and verify that the information being submitted is correct
• not be a current member of the Mayor’s Advisory Council for Kitchener Seniors (MACKS) or a previous recipient of the award

Nominations can be submitted online. Paper copies are also available at all Kitchener community centres.

Nomination deadline is Friday, March 31, 2023.
