Citizen of the Year

Citizen of the Year Award

The council invites seniors, schools, religious organizations, service clubs, appointed boards, private citizens, or groups of citizens to nominate more individuals for the following awards:

No employee or elected official presently serving the Town of Cardston is eligible for nomination. Consideration should be given to the time, dedication, and impact of service to senior Citizens, or any other service deemed to be worthy of recognition. The recognized service may be a part of the nominee’s normal occupation but should be for that service beyond the call of duty.  The nominee should be a current resident of the area. Nominations are to be confidential from the nominee until a decision is made by the judges. Applications can be picked up at the Town Office, or downloaded by clicking on the appropriate links above.

You may submit your nomination online by filling out the form below. If you have any supporting documents, you can submit them with the form, email them to info@cardston.ca or drop them off at the Town Office. Please read the appropriate linked document above for Nomination and Committee Rules, and Criteria for Nomination for the award you're submitting a nomination for.
