M.P.P. is pleased to announce the following government initiatives.
 Ontario
Medal for Good Citizenship
Dr. Marie Bountrogianni, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
announces the call for nominations for the Ontario Medal for Good
Citizenship for 2004.
Established in 1973, the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship
recognizes and promotes the virtues of good citizenship. Through this
program, the province honours Ontarians, who, through exceptional
long-term effort, have made outstanding contributions to life in
their communities. Any person or organization can nominate an
individual by completing an application form by July 16, 2004.
Community
Action Awards
Dr. Marie Bountrogianni, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
announces the call for nominations for the Community Action Awards
for 2004.
Through these awards, the Province of Ontario recognizes individuals
who have been instrumental in effecting positive change for persons
with disabilities in Ontario.
Each year, 15 Ontarians are chosen to receive the Community Action
Award. These are individuals who have made a significant contribution
to their communities by promoting integration and independence,
showing commitment and dedication to developing the potential of
persons with disabilities and improving their quality of life; and
demonstrating leadership in preventing and removing barriers that
impede the full participation of persons with disabilities in our
society. Any person or organization can nominate an individual by
completing an application form by July 16, 2004.
Senior
Achievement Awards
The Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister Responsible for Seniors
announces the 2004 Senior Achievement Award Program.
Each year, the Government of Ontario is proud to celebrate the
accomplishments and contributions seniors make to communities across
Ontario. This year, the Senior Achievement Awards will once again
highlight the significant voluntary and professional achievements
made by individuals after they have reached the age of 65. Any person
or organization can nominate an individual by completing a nomination
form no later than July 16, 2004.
If you wish to nominate a deserving citizen for
any of these three awards, please contact either of my two offices
for the application forms.
