The West Island has many outstanding seniors. Do you know of one?

The West Island of Montreal has the largest community of seniors per capita in Quebec. Many of these wonderful citizens are very active in the community using their life experience and skills to support their neighbours and the community at large.

We would like to recognize some outstanding seniors in the community. If you know of an extraordinary senior, write in and tell us. Nominees must reside in the West Island area. We’re looking for citizens who are contributing something special to social groups, community organizations, sports organizations,

family or church. Their contribution may be noteworthy because it is made despite living with a physical or psychological limitation; or it is an example of ongoing service to the community.

Nominations for the following categories will be accepted: • Community Volunteering • Art & Leisure • Sport & Physical Activity • Seniors in the workplace

Please keep in mind that the award selection is based on the information you provide. Additional corroborating material regarding your nomination (such as letters of endorsement, newspaper clippings, and so on) may be requested. Your reasons for nominating this person should be typed, with a maximum of 300 words.

A community-based committee has agreed to judge the nominations and we will feature the most outstanding seniors in a special section of the newspapers published in the fall. The top Senior Achievers chosen will be honoured at a gala awards luncheon at the Château Pierrefonds, on September 30, 2009.

Please complete the information on the nomination form, attach the form to

your nomination letter prior to September 11, 2009 and mail to:
