British Columbia commu- nities have only until Sept. 15 to identify a senior citizen who they believe to be de- serving of the British Colum- bia Senior of the Year Award. The winner receives a $10,000 tax-free grant from co-sponsor Hong Kong Bank of Canada, and the Brock House Society Medal from the award’s founder and oth- er co-sponsor, Vancouver- based Brock House Society. “The purpose of this award,” says Ted Charlton, president of Brock House So- ciety, “is to create greater public awareness of the im- portant contributions senior citizens make to our society and to recognize their accom- plishments and record them in the history of our province.” Each nominee’s accom- plishments are permanently recorded in Brock House So- ciety’s archives. Past recipients have come from a variety of back- grounds. Their common thread is that they must be a Canadian citizen who is 65 or older and a B.C. resident. They must also have what the eight-member selection committee considers a demonstrated record of vol- untary community service. Last year’s winner was Joan Greenwood, a longtime resident of Hope. Quoted last year, Green- wood said, “I am a terribly or- dinary person who just enjoys what I do.” This included volunteering to teach prisoners at Moun- tain Prison in Agassiz to read, write and speak better Eng- lish, and tutoring Fraser Val- ley College’s English as a sec- ond language students. This year’s winning nomi- nee will be announced in Oc- tober and honored at a pre- sentation dinner held in Van- couver on Nov. 19. Nomination forms, along Search is on for B.C.'s Senior of the Year with a brochure outlining el- igibility, are still available throughout the province at all branches of Hong Kong Bank of Canada, Bank of British Columbia and Brock House Society. Submissions must be re- ceived by the banks or the So- ciety no later than Sept. 15. Nominators are encouraged to update entries from previ- ous years and resubmit. “The senior members of our communities are a valu- able resource and deserve recognition for their contribu- tions to society,” says Maurice Mourton, executive vice-pres- ident of Hong Kong Bank of Canada. “We encourage all British Columbians to recognize and nominate a deserving senior in their community.
