Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) spend their time volunteering to make their streets and community a safer place to live.
Dr. Elaine Pitkin, this week's Weekly Interview, spends her time volunteering with the Global Citizens Network, helping underpriviledged areas across the globe that need a helping hand.
And, Judy Faust, whose story also is documented in this week's paper spends her days documenting stories of people living through the Holocaust – survivors whose history she captures before it is too late.
The trio are just a few of the people we have featured in our pages over the years. However, we know there are countless others deserving recognition that fall under the radar.
The Leader hopes to change that. This week marks the start of the search for this year’s Great Person Award. These are the people that deserve recognition – the ones who, for the most part remain the nameless, faceless people who make our communities thrive.
They are the people who spent their time and energy making sure the Scarborough a place you enjoy living and working in.
You work with them. You volunteer with them. You coach or attend town meetings with them. You may even live with them. They are all around us – and this unique award allows you to let them receive a small token of the thanks they deserve.
Nominate someone you know today – and let them represent all of the “great people” in the community.
