Citizen of the Year nominees named

The Prince George Community Foundation yesterday announced the nominees for the 2013 Citizen of the Year.

The nominees are: Andy Beesley, Betty-June Gair, Alison Hagreen, David Halikowski, and Selen Alpay.

All citizens of the Prince George region are eligible to be nominated except directors of the Prince George Community Foundation.

The committee is looking for nominees that have exemplified above average volunteer or philanthropic dedication to the Prince George community; have provided volunteer service for a minimum of three years; have not received remuneration for the volunteer activity for which the award is being proposed; have voluntarily performed duties related to their paid employment significantly beyond what is expected of a person holding that paid position.

The final selection of the 2013 Prince George Citizen of the Year will be announced at the annual celebration dinner at the Coast Inn of the North on October 18.  Tickets are available at the front desk of the Coast Inn of the North.
