There’s still a bit of time to recognize the special older folk in Medicine Hat and area for the Seniors of Distinction award.

The AgeCare website states that the yearly award seeks to shine a light on local seniors and their amazing accomplishments and how they have and continue to contribute to their communities.

Currently, they are looking for individuals over the age of 55 who shine in the areas of arts, community service, leadership, or healthy living, or possibly all four; however, no nomination is too small, and people are encouraged to put forward people in their lives regardless of how many categories they may qualify for.

The purpose of the award is to recognize those who laid the groundwork, and who continue to make their communities better by being part of them, be that through their artwork of any medium, passing on their wisdom to the next generation, or simply continuing to be an inspiration to their neighbours and peers.

Nominations are accessible on the AgeCare website at http://www.agecare.ca/seniorawards, and further information can be found on the AgeCare website for those interested in nominating someone in their life or becoming a sponsor of the award.

Nominations are open until Sept. 15.
