Saugeen Shores Youth of the Month Award

The Saugeen Shores Youth Coalition, in partnership with Canadian Tire, will be presenting the Youth of the Month Award, starting in November. The monthly award, donated by Mowbray Canadian Tire, recognizes a young person who volunteers their time, talent and/or vision to make Saugeen Shores a better place. The young person must be a well-rounded individual who experiences many of the 40 Developmental Assets (see attached) to be considered for the award.

The nomination forms must be completed and returned by the 15^th of each month; if they are late, they will be considered for the following month. Nomination forms are available at Saugeen District Secondary School, Canadian Tire, Saugeen Shores Recreation Department and Sunlife Financial.
