Nominations open for Town’s annual Environmental Sustainability Awards
March 24, 2016 · 0 Comments
The Town of Orangeville has opened nominations for the 2016 sustainability awards, sponsored for the eighth year by the Orangeville Sustainability Action Team.
The Environmental Sustainability Awards are presented by Orangeville Council on an annual basis to recognize those who have made a positive contribution to the environmental health of the community.
“The Town would not be able to improve the environmental health and quality of life of our community without the help of local groups, businesses, landowners and individuals, and we want to recognize the efforts that are made to enhance our community’s environment,” said Councillor Sylvia Bradley of the Orangeville Sustainability Action Team.
The Orangeville Sustainability Action Team (OSAT) invites nominations for this year’s Environmental Sustainability Awards. Nominations are open to any Orangeville resident, youth, business and/or group who have made positive contribution(s) to our natural environment and/or are leaders in environmental practices.
Nominations — for an individual, youth, business or group – can be submitted at the Town Hall main reception counter at 87 Broadway or via email to blusk@orangeville.ca by 4 p.m. on April 12. For more information on the awards and for a nomination form either visit the website at http://tinyurl.com/hjskc94 or the Town Hall at 87 Broadway.
